black and gold

tattoos, races across the street when red lights flicked to green,

hand in hand, the square at night was ours...

block after block, cold breath after the next,

and piggyback rides full of laughter.

forget the world behind,

pick me up where we left off.

literally..pick me up,

take me with you, wherever you go...

i want to be next to you, black and gold,

and goofy photos,

stares and compliments,

long hugs and jean jackets.

coffee breaks that consume my hours.

i am yours.for just alittle,

you, yes you, have captured my attention once again...

and i will not deny it.

one step at a time,

one foot in front of the other,

my hand in your pocket,

your arm around my waist--

we will walk the edges of railroad tracks,

and watch the city lights flicker and disappear...

and in that moment--we were infinite,

black and gold, black and gold.
