We stopped playing hide and seek

I thought I’d give you a try when I saw you swirling by with your flowered
arms and sunshine smile. My favorite games are the ones I can’t win, and you
seemed to be a loss at first sight.

you caught my eye with your predator vibe, so I took a jump and without any plan
of attack we tumbled into playing hide and seek between your blankets.

there was a boy I loved once and he was catastrophic. but these days I’m going home
wearing your hoodie rather than his skin in the alley behind his house. and it feels
like freedom to smile him goodbye without a heartache-hit because you’ve chased his
demons out of my veins with your hot air balloon whispers and light orange kisses.
