Red #7 Poem by G J Salgado

Red lipstick painted on the edges of my last cigarette
Waiting for something inside me to change
Dreaming about the man of my dreams that I haven't met
I became someone else after the rain
I found myself there inside your arms as if I'd always been here
You whispered all the things I wanted to hear
We both gave each other something
Standing in front of everything
Becoming what we never knew
You needed me and all I wanted was you
I laid my head on your chest
Then we waited to become what we haven't known yet
