trampoline hopping and puddle jumping.

pull up to my driveway
i'll see you through my window
sweatpants and knit hats
we shall go for a run
and run away from everything we shall.

pull up to my driveway
i'll see you through my window
school bags and bio textbook
we shall drive to school
and everyone will whisper about us when we come to class late.

awkward silences are unbeknown to us.
we walk through the streets
late at night
goofing around
pushing each other into the puddles
soaked
from head to toe

then
in the most ridiculous act of childish behavior
we
hop your ex-girlfriend's trampoline.
and
as she stares furiously from her bedroom window
you
grab my hand
and
we run through the field.

don't ever leave me.
don't ever leave me.
don't ever leave me.

my heart is small, it is black, it is overlooked
and forgotten
but it is yours if you'd like.

drunken kisses on my neck
so soft and gentle
so soft
and
gentle.

everyone is watching, everyone is watching, everyone
is
watching
us
perfect
on
the
dance floor.

call me when you say you will and i shall always answer.
