our break would be ending soon, and we were on the roof, drinking and enjoying the last few autumn nights.

"what do you do?" you asked me.
and it threw me off-guard.
you know me more than i know myself.

"show me," you said, asking for my unfinished songs.

with a smirk -
maybe it was the rum -
i take the tips of my fingers and draw them over your sharp jawline.
