a whole lot of lust

It's that blissful lusty moment
it's that instant connection and
that static chemistry
it's being consumed by an overwhelming desire
it's intimacy on tap
it's connections that feel real

it's my mind wandering
it's pretending we're compatible
it's looking at you looking at me
it's lazy mornings
it's the walk of shame
it's your hand on my back and your mouth on my skin

it's not love
it's not thinking past the moment
it's the blissful ignorance of not yet knowing
that they will hurt you
it's making yourself vulnerable
and regretting that later
and then making yourself vulnerable again
and regretting that later too

it's giving yourself
but only the parts that you want to
it's drifting to sleep
and being awoken by their snoring
it's feeling sexy
and then catching your reflection in the mirror
it's sweet nothings
it's seeing their eyes light up
it's making the same mistakes

but it's not being in love
it's definitely not being in love
