Things Only Musician Understand

Part Twenty-Seven: JJ

I hooked my hand

around the back of her thigh

and I picked her up

and carried her into the bedroom.

Justin

had been put into the room with Raylin

After I came back,

so the room was empty.

I laid her down

and I whispered into her ear

"Do you trust me still?"

and she nodded her head yes.

That night

I did things

that I only dreamt of doing since I left.

I held her in my arms

in a naked embrace

running my hands over her back

where the scars of her past laid

and thought

to every god

how thankful

that I am

that they gave me this chance yet again,

and how now

I have everything

that I've wanted

since I left.
