«Photography is truth. The cinema is truth twenty-four times per second.»

Jean-Luc Godard

The first time we went to see a movie together

All very normal to start, you pick me up

Your perfume inside the car already fills me in

Making me a little wet just by sitting there

I already know we’re gonna fuck later…

so the anticipation ignites my flames high

all the crazy hot memories come to me about

the nights I slept with your skin smell on mine

So only this already puts fire in my belly.

We go to the dark room, sit in the last row

right under the projector, no one nearby

I swear I don’t remember the movie we saw

Since the beginning that I only have one thing

Just one pulsing thought in my mind

10 minutes pass and I can feel

from the corner of my eye

your stare at my body, slowly, with detail

I look at you, you look to the screen

naughty smile, you bend to pick your cell phone that had fallen
