Tonight,
I watched you quietly again
But all these future memories
Kept projecting in my brain
We'd go to baseball games
And play footsie on top of the littered popcorn
Comfort would take over
Mending a wound we used to mourn
We'd eat breakfast in bed
And tumble on top of each other
Laughter would pierce through
Filling a void left by another
We'd see concerts at dusk
And dance under the twilight sky
Lightness would bloom
Where sorrow used to be disguised
We'd make love in the afternoon
And feel the weight of us two
Desire would burst through
Finally finding something that's true
We'd stay out late in the city
And kiss in the light pollution haze
Love would wash over us
Sticking where it never used to stay
But tonight,
You didn't even know my name
So I settled for a shy smile
From across the room as you looked my way.
