Tourist

As we danced to 
A slow song,
My hands creeped
Over the chimes of
Your navel.

The sky lit up
While you breathe
Passionately over
My neck.

The evening was of
Possibilities. 

I got a little drunk.
You did a lot and
Passed out.
I sat watching you 
All night.

Morning did break
With high hopes.
But you were gone,
Without any sign.

I wrote a 
Little something to
Lock you in a metaphor,
And preserve you in
My diary.

Of the promising eyes
And enchanted smile.
Hope you're not
Another tourist..

Who hitchhikes with
Thoughts,
Trashes hearts,
To be forever gone.
