swingsets and cigarettes

I don't remember the season only that it seemed bright and ur hands / warm and unsure / 

speaking, or trying to.
tripping over soggy words on a tattered paperback, swinging back and forth. 

we took turns for what seemed like hours on the chapter where Cathy was wearing her pointe shoes for ballet. 

after a while, my orchestra played. the angst and clarity of smashing pumpkins or was it of mice & men. 

I can't remember the songs we played to each other, only the feeling of connecting tired, murky green eyes to blazing tones of Louis brown. 

a hand on the cheek for Maria and Tony. 

playing the p/arts/ quiet and slow.
not wanting to hurry and scare off the other. 

I wish I saw u more often b4 but we're stuck 1,333.8 miles apart.
