24 hours

24 hours left
You and me
Me and you
Until we leave
In two very different directions
To two very different places
24 hours to talk
24 hours to kiss
24 hours to see
In how many ways
Our bodies can tessellate
And sleep,
Your knees behind my knees
Your chest against my back
So for a while
We can pretend
That we are going in the same direction
