9 hours since...

there were so many things I
didn't say and so many
times I wanted to tell you everything you didn't want to hear.
it rained for all five days
out there on the west coast and
as good at is was, i knew
it would end.

we kissed briefly and without passion
while the taxi driver stood there, waiting
for me to get in and to tell him
yes sir, I am going to the airport.
we kissed briefly, too brief in that
I just wanted to pull my things out of the cab's trunk
and run back into your tiny little apartment
and lay on the dark hardwood floors with
my head resting on your chest.
too brief in that an hour before we had just woken up and
you made us smoothies while I showered and quickly
packed my things.

I came home tonight.
I came home thinking, "well that was easy." but
it's only been 4 hours since
I got off the plane and it's
only been 9 hours since we were naked and the rain
fell on your windows.
