I'll always have
a romantic idea about you: an
idea that wakes me when the sun rises
and lures me to sleep knowing your
miles out of reach.
I'll always have that hopeless
swept up in a story sort of feeling remembering
how you looked at me.
Always with a smirk full of longing,
the tension between us tight enough
at any moment we were bound to
snap together in a passionate whirlwind.
I remember how a year ago
I was heartbroken over how
much I wanted you to want me.
Remembering the way you sleep
and for that brief night, how I felt
your arms like spider vines
tangling with my heart and my legs.
