Late night swims
Chlorine red eyes
2 hours of sleep every night
Alcohol breath
Mixed with Cigarettes
Burnt the couch
Ruined my dress
Midnight rendezvous
Conversations never ending
Sipping moonlight
Barefoot laughter
Spilling into twilight
Sharing truths and revelations
Dancing under constellations
Sweet lips kisses
Crumpled sheets
Dishevelled hair
Clothes scattered everywhere
Bodies shifting like tides
Trying to find each other’s lips in the dark
And giggling when we fail
Morning light breaking
Bags under my eyes
Streets that smell of salt and heat,
Sand between my toes,
Watermelon dripping off my chin,
Coffee and cornetto
Mojito, Camillo
It’s all a blur
Words that only have meaning to us
Water fills my lungs
Plum coloured bruises on my sun kissed skin
A reminder of the fun we’ve had
Dancing till my feet hurt
Shivering till my lips turn blue
