I was walking on the street
and I felt your perfume.
that was when my mind took a dive
into the day we were lying on a garden
exchanging kisses and funny faces while a sky
made of a million colours collapsed above us.
I placed my lips on your neck
and slowly went up
to meet your lips.
that was when I had to ask permission
from my fragile heart
to let you in.
when you placed your hand on my neck
and leaned in to kiss me,
I realised you didn't have to ask my heart for permission to come in.
you were already in and had drawn your body with a pencil
in the blank canvas that is my mind.
