Even the Nights celebrate Pride Month
As promised here you go @starcod3-unavailabl3
That Summer: The Nights
The nights came slower than the days stretching out like they didn't want to let us go
We'd lie there with the window cracked open letting in the sound of distant cars and someone else's music bleeding through the dark
Your leg thrown over mine like it belonged there like it had always belonged there
I remember the heat not unbearable just enough to make everything feel closer skin to skin breath to breath like space was something we had quietly agreed to give up
You'd talk yourself to sleep sometimes half-sentences soft confessions that never made it to morning
I listened to all of them
Even when they didn't make sense even when your voice drifted off mid-thought I held onto every word like it mattered more than it probably did
Because you did
Your breathing would change first slow, even like the world had finally stopped asking anything of you
And I'd stay awake a little longer just to feel it your heartbeat against me the rise and fall of your chest the quiet proof that you were still there
that we were still there
I think I was afraid to sleep not of dreams but of waking up and finding it gone
So I memorized you instead
The weight of you the warmth the way your fingers twitched like you were holding onto something even in your dreams
Eventually, I'd give in let the dark take me too with you tangled up in me like a promise we never said out loud
And for those hours we were untouched no past no future just two bodies sharing the same quiet in a summer that felt like it could last forever
“‘when you get older, your wild heart will live for younger days.
think of me whenever you’re afraid.’
he said ‘one day you’ll leave this world behind, so live a life you will remember.’”
"Black and blue under the citylight hue,
Friday night fun, just me and you!"
🖤💙
