Lips meeting if only to find something that isn’t there.

Because, why the hell not?

Just a little longer I’ll bear.

Pressing closer in hopes to feel-

So irritated- I reel.

Frustration pricks at my attention

Cool hands. Cool breath. Damn. Nothin’

A sigh and a swift step away into another’s chest

Taller, he’s taller and his smile knowing.

A cigarette proffered. A hand shake. A Lighter.

A drag and soothing warmth.

Good enough. No. Better.
