Skinned KneeThe sponge is rough even when dripping and I wince as you press it down to my knee. The skin is sore and still bleeding slightly and I have never been the best at dealing with pain. Lukewarm water, slightly salted, runs down my bare leg but I ignore it. Your drop the sponge into the bowl and it makes a strange sound that makes me smirk despite the sting. You lean forward in slow motion and blow, ever so gently, on the graze. I gasp sharply at the sensation but it soon passes and I sigh, relieved.Skinned Knee

I stir and wake and turn and stare and see Your eyes are shut I want you to open them and look at me
I reach out to you and stroke fingertips down your unshaven cheek You mumble incoherently I withdraw my hand and hold it against my fast-beating heart
Wake up You slowly open your eyes, sticky from sleep A smile

Catching Tales is so good but Pointless Nostalgic is the best... and Twentysomething is just love personified.
