the projections of your essence is the type to cook up a future of you; of the home you call your heart, or how you let it spill across the metal table, just to knead it back together to construct wholesome smiles.
yours is the form of communication i've never known, a presence that haunts me - as the scent of your perfume lingers at the back of my tongue as i taste a sweet fruit, or how your stories speak to me as my eyes trickle such mundane appliances around me.
you have taken not my heart, nor my soul. you have extracted from me fragments of my time; where i find myself caught in the air, mystically hearing the songs that were stuck in my head when i first met you.
you are the soundtrack to my little death. you are always right in the corner of my mind, just as i want to see you: half-baked, smirking, and vulnerable.
