take me and
stuff me in a bag;

in the rapture of a girl
first kissed behind the ear,
never once being touched there before
and tell me you’ll carry me across
the whole ocean
if that’s where
I need to be today.
I’m laughing and
you say the most ridiculous
things like
(and you turn to me)

you say to me:
this will never end,
right?
