notify me

i sent a text that was bereft of any self-control

i checked my phone then checked again hoping you would console

you said, “i’m running errands, but could meet me at the park”

i drove and waited for your car just slightly after dark

 

you pulled your car up next to mine i quietly got in

i didn’t even say hello just kissed you on a whim

the kissing escalated into sex in your back seat

we didn’t even say a word till shoes returned to feet

 

how all the groceries in your trunk you needed to get home

i kissed your cheek and grabbed my keys and watched your bumper chrome

trail into the tail lights till i couldn’t tell who’s who

i texted you, “i love you” you responded right on cue
