i wish you knew
the way i sit in my room,
drifting, gazing at the ceiling,
headphones slipping down my ears,
thinking of you
listening to songs
that remind me of you

it's dark outside
shadows dance on my popcorn ceiling
i wonder
how it would feel
if you were with me,
lying next to me,
breathing in each others' air
feeling each others' warmth

the room is still
my digital clock blinks two am
my skin remembers
the brush of your fingers
the softness of your hair
my heart remembers
the way your soul looks
when you smile at me

would you stay?
would you hold my hand?
would you drift with me?
would you smile at me,
that smile that melts my insides
ever so gently?
would you love me
the same way i love you?
