you

you are everywhere in this apartment.

i smell you on the couch, on my shirt, on the inside of my wrist.

your smell lingers, and i remember the softness of your touch, the smoothness of your skin, the beauty of your words.

my back arches to meet your hand.
i taste the sweat from your neck.
your lips are everywhere and i am immobile.
i am lost in you, consumed whole.
and, somehow you are gone.

leaving only your smell, and me, quaking with desire.
