add and subtract

it used to be infatuation
captivation is
strange sometimes
strawberry sunglasses
and i miss you

smell of redwoods and tomato
dirt, earthy, she says
like a book i read, underlined
i want to see you
at lunchtime
over a sandwich
you eat too fast, never
linger
ive learned to go
slow

lets be responsible
quit saying everything happens for
a reason, right
were not in charge
until we are

tight memorization
that clear mind of yours, after
rain predictions
some massive evening
a super summer sunset
don't forget to hold her close
just when you think
she's letting go

passover passenger, let
me teach you something
about regret
try taking photos while
riding bikes

to answer your question
what type of expiration
do we have?
don't ask me again
i want so many things
and those freckles, they
never quite
