Red

Still, I have desires in me when I see you in red,

Still I can feel the warmth of your skin under the scorching heat.

Still I can feel the urge of immensely loving you,

Finding myself having an infatuating connection with you.

Still I can see my eyes rolling backwards and I smile when I occasionally see you.

Still I have that fire that can burn the bridges and entire cities.

Still I love swings and I would love you to scroll down me.

Red suits you.

So does the quiet smile on your face.

Still I think I can fall in love,

Only if you are brave enough to chase and confess to me!
