i was drifting off to sleep
my eyes were heavy and,
it keeps producing tears,
due to the deprivation.

and then,
i finally fell asleep.

i was flying in the dreamland,
and i saw you.
and you were crystal clear,
i thought you were real.

and god,
you’re so beautiful.
your beautiful dark brown eyes,
your messy brunette hair,
your dimples when you smile,
and the crinkle of your eyes,
when you grin.

and for a second,
i thought i dreamt of angels,
when actually, it’s you.
�

i’m not sleeping, still.
i’m wide awake,
and i’m having thoughts about you.

are you happy?
are you laughing?
is there anyone making you smile?
are you tired,
or even sad?

i think, i overthink about
overthinking about you too much.

but most importantly,
is someone making your heart flutter,
like you make my heart flutter?
�

as my head pounds,
and tears streamed down my face,
i wish that i could erase you,
permanently- out from my life.

i wish i could erase you,
like when people erase something
with an eraser.
i wish it’s as easy as that.

and i wish i could erase you,
like when people erase something
with a correction tape.
i think i’d be better off without you.

but no matter how much i tried,
forgetting you, and vanishing you-
you’d still be here,
somehow.

i hate it.

but, erasers and correction tape,
left marks, right?

love.
that’s what most people want,
it’s what people crave the most.

unless for me,
you’re the one that i want,
my heart aches everyday,
to the thought of you.

i wanna see you again, that's all.
i just want to meet you again,
or at least, see that smile of yours up close.

that’s what my heart wants.

but the distance, is making it hard.
