I saw you
You think I wasn’t looking but I was
Staring as you gracefully weaved words through the air
I saw the fullness of your mouth as your secrets spilled forth
Landing like Taraxacum seeds on your skin, falling to the floor
I ran after you seizing them up and kept every one pressed to my chest
And pushed them one by one into my heart
I slipped into your shadow and quietly kept pace to avoid your detection
Picking up the pebbles from your dreams
Grasping at the feathers on your breeze
I waited there until you were asleep
Only then did I make myself known
Let you see my silhouette
Standing in front of you with my arms full
Asking you to love me.
