"come quickly - i am tasting the stars"

I'm smiling.
I've been smiling since a few days ago when
I saw the way you saw things and you created carbonation bubbles in my blood
Tickling my veins as they pop, making my heart feel like the central organ of
A soda machine.

I'm laughing at more than one thing.
I'm laughing at your face during the movie today
And the idea that you might pick me, the loser
And that way that you laugh at me and the way that you get competitive about the weirdest things like uno and the color or non-color that is white.

And I'm quickly falling in love because you aren't your dad
You aren't even close

But yet you are disciplined and kind
You are tall like your dad, but you're a good height for me
You are all golden

And I've never felt this way before
Never thought about that girl like I think about you
Never considered things about her I've considered about you
I'm quickly falling for you like champagne into a glass

"come quickly - i am tasting the stars"

Oh My Stars

I shouldn't have held you the way I did.

My stomach flips every time I think about your fingers laced through mine;

And I know I said it wasn't like that and you're like my sister,

But maybe I shouldn't have said that either.

Because I can't stop thinking about the warmth of you, how it felt to fall asleep in your embrace instead of alone like I have been my whole life, how it feels like my heart beats inside my throat right now typing because I've still never been kissed but now I've been held.

And I was held by you.
