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

Late street, soda sparkle You grin, I play slow Pink straw twirls your secret You sip, I say oh You say, keep it tender I nod, let it flow Coat sleeves hide my shiver Neon warms our skin Words lean close like music I breathe, 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 cymbal I ache, want one more we glow don’t let go No mask, no pose Say yes, eyes close we glow don’t let go we glow don’t let go
