Second Guess

I loved the way you kissed me.
Through all of the muddled thoughts of “Stay away”
and “This won't end well”, my mind spiraled down
like a tornado about to touch the Earth's land with
nothing more than a gentle hand.

And now...
Sitting in my car: breath reeking of cigarettes,
eyes worn thin from hours of tequila filled conversation,
having fought to win a confined place in that lock-box heart,
and all I'm left with are immature thoughts that wash away
every last bit of my self logistics, leaving me breathless in a room
of winding air...

Yet do I listen to this ill-fated prophecy?
Is it even prophecy? Is this nothing more
than the worried concerns of the old-time
friend who has seen the raptures of previous lovers?
Does he recall on how to take a risk, or is this
unmistakably familiar?

There's shouting and bickering, so much so
that I internally scream it all to silence.
Nonetheless there is a continued thought,
ringing like the tick of a grandfather clock:

I loved the way he kissed me.
