We steal kisses under the cover of summer and run fingers that feel too thick, too clumsy over skin slick with sweat. Our lips slip and trip across and over pounding heartbeats given form. I swallow my doubts and yours; and twist them into something better, like melting chocolate: fleeting and hot and sweet. Our touches are hesitant, not nearly as innocent, as we make the awkward transition from childhood into something beyond, but just a few steps short of adulthood.

When summer ends and we head back, please do not tell me this is another fling to be forgotten.
