Between My Reality, Stay.

Past midnight, past one
makes me feel you
like I should feel you
your skin
feverish
yet it doesn't sear me
oh, love-mark me anyway.

If this is where
I will find you

Only here.

Then quick now
lover, brand me.

Before daylight loses me.

You have no memory there
within quick pecks
over coffee mugs
and calls
to let me know
that tonight is a couple of beers
and pool with the boys.

Don't wait up.
