I Hope You Remember, Because I Do

Remember when we were so trashed we thought we were floating

when really we were clinging to each other on my garage floor

and someone broke a bottle by my head and you said it looked like

the stars were dancing in my hair

I kissed you first because even though you were shit faced

you still trembled at the thought of messing up

scared I was a porcelain doll that could shatter in your hands at any moment

both of our best friends were giggle on the couch about how one of them was a virgin

but we ignored them because we were wrapped together like flower petals

remember when kissed me on the couch at my moms house

and you whispered breathlessly “you’re like kissing nicotine”

and I couldn’t breathe because breathing you in meant letting you in
