Condensation on windows
The blur of evergreen trees
First class backseats
Bright eyes gazed into mine
The darkest of teal
The car drifts
into the cryptic labyrinth
They smiled and laughed -
Wrapping ribbons around their foreheads
The darkest of rouge
I stared at my pale fingers
As she counted the headlights on the road
and wrote her initials on the window
We drove around in circles
The shape we made was obscure
through the condensation on the windows
She held my hand -
the lightest of touch
Clear your mind, she whispered
As she kissed my nose
I blushed
the lightest of peach
The blur of evergreen trees
First class backseats
Bright eyes gazed into mine
The darkest of teal
The car drifts
into the cryptic labyrinth
They smiled and laughed -
Wrapping ribbons around their foreheads
The darkest of rouge
I stared at my pale fingers
As she counted the headlights on the road
and wrote her initials on the window
We drove around in circles
The shape we made was obscure
through the condensation on the windows
She held my hand -
the lightest of touch
Clear your mind, she whispered
As she kissed my nose
I blushed
the lightest of peach
