so close.
not close enough.
my mind waking with the dawn of the day.
my heart, aching with every beat, races with my breath.
you stir
and i wretch
as my thoughts betray me
and long to hold you.
i can't help but wonder if our thoughts are but one.
then you turn to face me
and no breath
no beat
like a line from a song
every song
i melt.
i know i'm crazy
and i pray you are too
but my nature gets the better
and i'm pushed back into this lonely reality
with your eyes as they catch mine
staring.
so i'll distract myself with the darkening distance
and wait to find my pen.
