Denali Gillaspie Three Months
Grains of gravel hold their own between my bare toes.
I’ve got the blues, I’ve got the blue lake water where
we go.
Don’t carry a radio, replacin’ the stations with our
own show.
Listenin’s for free, you just gotta be snuggled in with
me.
High-fives, low cries, napkin fires and fireflies.
Don’t care that we wear out and sleep in the daytime.
Esperanza, sing me a tune. If I could stop the tears
from laughing, I’d be asleep soon.
I’ll feel no physical pain, but you just gotta be
snuggled in with me.
Breathe it in. Love it out. Everyone can win, I know
you know what I’m talkin bout.
Darling boys and darling girls. With our late night
conversations
To be the soundtracks of our don’t-look-back lives.
Girl, no regrets, ‘cause we all get flustered at times,
leave it behind.
Gonna live it right.
Miss you, miss me, Ms. Beatrice.
Can anyone understand the amount of me I took out of
being
Presently there with my mermaid hair and your tender
feet?
I’ll lead the way down to the dock at 1am, not sayin’
nothin’.
I guess we’re not swimming this evening, you just gotta
be snuggled in with me.
Half the list we documented of funnies and comical
circumstances
Wouldn’t have been half as funny if it hadn’t been you
and I. What were the chances
That three months could change a thinker’s mind, that
three months could braven a secret of mine, that three
months could mark the beginning of time, you just gotta
be snuggled in with me.
Breathe it in. Love it out. Everyone can win, I know
you know what I’m talkin bout.
Darling boys and darling girls. With our late night
conversations
To be the soundtracks of our don’t-look-back lives.
Girl, no regrets, ‘cause we all get flustered at times,
leave it behind.
Gonna live it right.
Here, here’s one of my favorite rings, ‘cause you’re
one of my favorite people.
You said.
They’re missin’ out, they don’t know what it means to
wake up next to one of my favorite people.
I said.
Breathe it in. Love it out. Everyone can win, I know
you know what I’m talkin bout.
Darling boys and darling girls. With our late night
conversations
To be the soundtracks of our don’t-look-back lives.
Girl, no regrets, ‘cause we all get flustered at times,
leave it behind.
Gonna live it right.
