We smoked a cigarette in the snow
As little flakes swept in with the wind flow
And clung to your hair
It was pretty, the way your eyes
Contrasted with the white sky
I could get lost in them

I looked at you and let out a sigh
As I embraced my faded high
And anticipated your departure
It was uncanny, the way your smile
Made me feel so comfortable
I am strangely into you

Maybe the stars will align
Into perfect patterns with time
And things will fall into place

Ignite the flame and light my cigarette
Sometimes I wish we’d never met
You were better from a distance

But who am I kidding?
It’s impossible to fight this feeling
I hope you’re ready for these sparks to fly

Our eyes were locked for that split second
With the strangest thought that we were destined
I smiled because I knew
I've been into the whole Shakespeare star-crossed lovers idea lately so I decided to partially incorporate it in this poem.

I'm not sure what went wrong
But I know I don't deserve this
You can't just lead me on
You can't just string me along

You have a way with your lips
and the lies that creep out of them
I know I don't deserve this
You can't just build me up
to watch me tumble

Cigarettes in bed
Seem to help me
Clear my head
As I lie
And detangle my thoughts
In the candlelight

I don't seem to know a lot
But at least I can admit it
I just want to see the world
And explore the things within it

My mind it runs
Like a river down a mountainside
Atoms and matter they collide
Sometimes too much for me to bear

Would you understand
If I told you I need to get away?
If I said I need to leave this place

Honey,
You're just a conjugation of the elements
And sadly I'm the same
We exhaust the thought of something greater
But really who's to blame?
Danielle Bluejay Jan 2013
I can't stop thinking about
how good it felt when you had your hands on my face,
your thumbs gently caressing my cheeks
Elation streamed through my veins
and instantly I wanted to see you again.

It's funny that I always saw you around
but never had the chance
to catch your attention,
until fate stepped in and opened a door
Or maybe a tiny window.

I wonder if I'll see you again,
if this universe is as serendipitous
and magical and wonderful
as I wish it to be;
Maybe you're my destiny.

Or maybe I'll never know.
