You and I
will always be
an unfinished poem

When I say
that you are my Sun,
I don’t mean that you are
Luminous,
Brilliant,
Gilded,
Beautiful,
Bold,
Warm,
Or even the center of my universe.
I simply mean that
I cannot look at you
Without hurting

I’ve always been a bad sleeper;
In fact
When I was a little girl
And I’d finally had enough
Of wrestling thoughts
and sticky sheets,
I’d tiptoe across quiet hallways
With sleepless eyes
To find solace in another couch or bed,
As if heartbreak
could be left behind
Like tear drops on pillows.

You were in my dream last night
We were one with the stars and the skies
We ran together and never looked back
You held my hand like it was yours to protect

We swayed under the moonlight
And I danced with the rhythm of yours
You looked at my eyes, it felt like millions of stars looking at me
I know I will never be lost again

You were in my dream last night;
I kissed you, and then you were gone.
