Late street, soda sparkle. You grin. I play slow. Pink straw twirls your secret; you sip. I mouth oh-sugar. Lip-balm mint; cola metal. You say, keep it tender. I nod—let it flow. Coat sleeves hide my shiver; neon warms our skin. Words lean close like music— then heat: you lean in. we glow don’t let go Cheap ring, cherry fingerprint, snow-breath on the glass. You trace small bright circles; time stalls—lets us pass. You say, no clean answers. I laugh—let that last. Boot taps count the downbeat; heart lands two and four. Your name rings like a ride cymbal— I ache—one more. we glow don’t let go we glow, low No mask. No pose. Say yes. Eyes close. we glow don’t let go— we glow we do
