Sweet Valley High Life

It was as if we were a love so pure,

even our silhouettes had nothing to hide.

​

​

I don’t recall much before it.

 

​

Sunlight seized the dawn and even days later,

I remained face down in our letters.

 

​

  Smeared in sincerity.

  Drowning in hope.

  Engaged with a fantasy.

 

​

When things get too much,

I imagine being back on the tropical shoreline

with you in that bedroom

absolute beauty surrounding us.
