Nov 2016
I see your face when my eyes are closed.
Your smile; a secret of upturned lips.
Your eyes; the brightest stars,
Yet darkest, blue ocean.

I hear you in the silence, when my heart is a
Thump,
Thump,
Thump.
And in the loud roar of my conflicted mind.

Years have I known you,
Years I've adored you.
Perhaps even loved you?
Perhaps in a place other than here.
Or in a time other than now.
Years apart, unknown to you
That my thoughts keep a memory.

I thought you knew.
I'm pretty sure you did.
What I wanted, I made known.
What I want, is still unspoken.

But I see you in my blindness,
Hear you in my deafness,
Keep you in a hazy dream.
And hold on.
