sour sweetness lingers
in the crevices of my teeth, as
we both start to blur at the edges -
today, we left one another behind

and then we found each other again
toes peeking over the threshold, impatient
and yet still unsure, 
we settle back into the nest of blankets on the 
rough carpet floor 
pastels mix together like our tequila and orange juice -
pink and beige and the warm orange 
of our futures
the night of our graduation, my friend slept over and we drank tequila and talked and talked and talked while playing harry styles' album in the background. now any time i hear the song "sweet creature", i taste alcohol and laughter on my tongue and i feel the soft pink blanket and rough carpet on my skin and i remember the warm glow of my lamp and the first rays of daybreak.
a little piece of nostalgia i indulged in
