One day I hope to see beauty in a sunset
Without a reminder of the beauty you saw in me
I hope to look back and not want you
Because of the beauty I saw in you
Because of the beauty I felt in you.

I want to kiss you
And when I am able to block out the noise that tells us the commercials ended
I want you to keep kissing me
I want you to get lost
Like I’m trying to do in you
But your glances elsewhere
Your repetitive comments of your exhaustion
Push me back
It’s only me
But I’m trying
**** I’m trying
I’m trying to sew myself to you
To plant myself inside you
Where no one else can
Touch us.
But you can touch us can’t you
You can touch me
And my touch is invisible.
Dissolved or whisped away
Im not quite sure.
There are other things in this world
The things that steal your gaze
That demand your presence.
Im right in front of you
Looked over
I drift further and further away.

Your hope lies in the past with familiar pieces
You rack your brain trying to make them fit again
Though proven wrong twice before.

I cannot return to my past
You are not there
And I neither for you
But if there lies your happiness
Then there you shall be
For I am your present
I am your future
But never shall I be your past
