I thought of you
Of that color just before the sun disappears over the horizon
And how you smiled
The sun slept easy that night
The airs bled into a softness
And I saw you
When that thought crossed your mind
Your eyes fell into a pool of quiet contemplation
And the struggle within began
You turned into a coy dog when you decided that that thought
You were going to hold on to that one
Because you want to share it with me later
Under exhausted sheets
And we’ll laugh
Because it’s ours
