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.
