desire

i tell myself
i’ll never do it again
but then
it happens
you text
and i’m soon enveloped
in thoughts of you
swimming through
past and future memories
moments of truth
moments of intrigue
the mindset of youth
unending summer days
lit by fireflies
as dusk settles in
seizing this moment
capturing what’s real
no hashtags or posting
it’s helped all of me heal
and what a feeling
to mean something
to myself
as well as someone else
