I like: to hold

the tip

t

i

p

of my nose to yours,

and trace the outline

of your lips

with my cool, peppermint inhale

and damp, musky exhale.

: to trade breaths with you,

touching nothing but nosetips.

in,

out

,in.

: to eversogently slip,

my dry lips on top of yours

filling your cracks with mine;

whispering love letters

straight

to your soul.

: to gently push

until you give way

and the tip

t

i

p

of my tongue

can scratch the gap

between your two front teeth;

gently blowing air in,

and making you blow out

a sweet,

low,

whistle.

: to brush my teeth

against your bottom lip,

and eversoslowly

separate my face from yours,

physically

at least,

for my soul

will eternally hold

the imprint

of the tip

t

i

p

of your nose.
