he seems of
summer
but has
eyes like
winter
and never again
will he
slumber
because he will
never win
her.

the same dream always occurs--
you and i
becoming one
entangling in our
love,
entangled in the
sheets.
you falling for the
passion i
have over the stars,
me falling for
you.

the way you lean
down to grab my
face and kiss my
lips so softly,
nothing can explain
the feeling.

i just wish i knew it.

Filled to the brim
with anxiety,
you took me gently
by the waist and tipped me over
It poured sweetly from my eyes
And rested on the skin over my cheekbones
You wiped it all away
With the tip of your finger
And the patience of your nature
I built a home
inside the bend of your elbow
You rocked me to sleep
I overflow here without you
As I stare vacantly through the window
Of my second story apartment
Begging the stars to kiss my forehead
The same way you always did

The days are short
and the nights are long
Nights filled
with thoughts of you.

Craving, longing, dreaming:
the affection you
bestow upon her,
the way my heart beats —
as if it were yours,
And how
the Sun could never
compete with
The light
in your eyes.

How foolish I am,
To miss
what was never mine
To dream
of what I could never have
To hope
for something — anything.

I guess I always knew
     You were going to leave my life
That you would find the day and place
     To move on to your next step
But knowing those things didn’t change the facts
     And I’m not ready to say good bye yet
I’m such a fool for letting myself
     Fall victim to your kiss
The sweetest kisses I’ve ever known
     Kisses I want to feel every day
Your passionate words have captured my mind
     And my body follows close behind
But now I have to find the way
     To let you go
You have a life to begin and I know
     I will someday fade from your mind
I want to try to remain friends
     But not if I’m the only one trying
You hurt me so deeply
     When you didn’t tell me your news
And you’ll never know
     How many tears I’ve cried for you
Someday, I hope you realize
     How much you mean to me
And down the road, when you think of me
     You’ll shed a tear for what could have been

I missed saying your
      name to you,
I missed how you say mine,
      always with such
            certainty,
you always take your time.

I missed the way you talk
      to me, your words,
they make me blind, so
      completely sure of
             yourself,
my darkness turns to light,
       now that you're back
             in my life.

shes the
universe
in one
swift
motion.
