As Dogs Chase Cars

I linger on

My lips to yours

As cats chase strings

As dogs chase cars

 

Leave me there to explore

Through this opening

Through this door

 

Linger on the touch

Linger on the taste

Linger on the smell

Linger on the breath

Linger on the heat

Linger on the secrets hidden beneath

 

I linger on

My lips to yours

As cats chase strings

As dogs chase cars
