late night encounter

I breathe in deeply and let the saltiness of the sea sink into my lungs as the air runs in through my window and onto my hair. The melancholic tunes that I have come to associate with you slowly drift into my ears. My mind aches to make sense of what I’m about to do and my heart decides to go into hibernation. But as I near that now familiar turn it wakes and flutters despite my mind telling it it’s a simple adventure. I close my eyes and let myself recognize your scent and taste knowing that within minutes it will be all too real again within the darkness of your room. Passionate and quick seem to be the only rules that dictate our forbidden encounter yet I know that your memory will linger in every inch of my skin and haunt my sleepless night long after I have departed the salty breeze of the sea.
