Goodnight Lovers

She said her toes were frozen,
so he wiggled her feet under his leg.
“Come closer” he said with a hesitant smile.
She slid her way under his arm,
their hot breath combined into one whispered cloud.

The ground grew frozen,
grass crunched under his heavy hands.
Jumping up, he said “Let’s go”.
She didn’t ask where, but she followed.

Pink skies said hello to the stars,
and goodbye to lovers unknowing eyes.

His tires slid across the slick black pavement,
whipping out onto the endless road.
She turned the music up,
Holding tightly to his thigh.

She fell asleep, his eyes were getting heavy.
Hands at ten and two,
slipping down to seven and five.
Losing grip and losing sight,
his hands on his lap,
his eyes rolled back.

The road wasn’t endless
It turned, he didn’t.
