Your fingers brushed mine ever so slightly
The most innocent and accidental of touches
But
It sent a lightning bolt up my arm
It jolted my heart as it raced to my head
The hairs on my arm raised
My blood raced
My pupils grew
I looked at you
Did you feel that too?

Or was it just the static from an overly fluffed jumper?

But wait...
You look a second longer than necessary
You look down
You smile
Your cheeks have blushed
You felt it too, didn't you?

Tick. Tock. Quarter to two.
Tick. Tock. I thought of you.
Tick Tock. Quarter to three.
Tick Tock. Do you think of me?

Tick.Tock.Tick.Tock.Tick.Tock.Tick.Tock. Insomniac.

1 year 1 day and a half
How long since we last laughed.
1 month 1 day and a quart
I gave back the ring you bought.
1 week 1 day and an eighth
The last time I saw your face.

Tick.Tock.Tick.Tock.Tick.Tock.Tick.Tock. Insomniac.

Too late to say I'm sorry.
Too late to take it back.
Too late to be together.
Too late to mend the cracks.

Tick.Tock.Tick.Tock.Tick.Tock.Tick.Tock. Insomniac

I hope that you are happy.
I hope that she is too.
I hope you know I'm sorry.
I hope that she loves you.

Tick.Tock.Tick.Tock.Tick.Tock.Tick.Tock. Insomniac

I regret it everyday.
It really wasn't worth it.
You were everything I wanted.
And I threw it all away...

Tick.Tock.Tick.Tock.Tick.Tock.Tick.Tock. Insomniac

1 year 1 day and a half.
Too late to say I'm sorry.
I hope that you are happy.
I regret it everyday.

Tick.Tock.Tick.Tock.Tick.Tock.Tick.Tock. Insomniac

Lie with me and hold me in your arms.
Lie with me and hold me in your heart.
Lie with me and fly away with me in your dreams.
Fly with me over oceans and over cities and rivers and towns and streams and villages.
Fly with me to the foreign and the exotic and to the known and ordinary.
Fly with me into my memories into my hopes and into my fears.
Show me your darkest fantasies and your silliest daydreams.
Show me your greatest strengths and your greatest vulnerabilities.
Show me your soul, and I will show you mine.
Grow with me into two parts of a whole.
Grow with me and help me become a better version of myself.
Grow with me into old age and lie with me.
*Lie with me and hold me in your arms.
Lie with me and hold me in your heart.
Lie with me and fly away with me in your dreams.
Lie with me and never let me go.
