Wisest Choice from Leaving Gardens by Annie Sea

Join me under the blanket and touch my feet.
We are just friends who share the covers,
and I know I'm not the only one who's cold.

You might say I'm on the rebound
bounce bounce bounce me right into your hands.
How long can we play but miss the basket?
I know this isn't the wisest choice
I'm newly single; you're underemployed.

but I keep reaching reaching...

We looked at each other too long last night.
When we hugged, I didn't want to let go.
I'd rather lie down next to you,
read poems in our underwear,
trace the words on our backs.

I want a kiss but it comes with complications.
Replace my fantasies with reservations.

but we keep reaching reaching...

Is this heat of proximity? You complimenting my beauty?
Is it your silver eyes that opened wide when I told you what to do with me when I die?

Could you float me down that river
so the current could show me which way to go?

I know this isn't the wisest choice,
but you seduce me when you enjoy my voice.
I want a kiss but it comes with complications.
Replace my fantasies with reservations.
