Motorcycle Rides

I really enjoy motorcycle rides with you.

Although I won’t get that as often anymore,

heck— the chances are lower each day,

I really do enjoy it.

I want you to know that

I enjoyed hugging you from the back

I enjoyed pinching your tummy

and I enjoyed resting my head on your left shoulder.

Every time you stop at the traffic light and hold my knee,

or when you made stupid jokes while taking me home,

or when you put my hands in the pocket of your jacket,

those are only a few of my favourite moments. 

It’s weird not to pinch your tummy,

or not to hug you from behind,

or not putting my hand inside the pocket of your jacket.

It’s weird that I can only smell your scent—

amazing, as usual—

and forcing myself to think that it’s enough.
