I lay in the tall grass
sprawled out, bare feet
The sun kisses my skin; pale in reflection
From my forehead to my eyelids,
my eyelashes casting shadows
then to my cheek bones, to the tip of my nose
leading down to my lips, I feel the warmth of
sunshine's slight kiss
The slow breeze swirls around my face
and I can smell the slight trace
of strawberries emanating from my hair
tangling with the air
I close my eyes, take a deep breath, and sigh
then look up to the sky, and smile
In this moment, I think of you
butterflies flutter, and the blood rushes
to my cheeks
Then I realize, it's just a fantasy
My dream of me and you, will
never come true
Suddenly, the sky isn't so blue
and I my arms feels so empty
the clouds roll in, and block out the sun
I'm forgetting your voice, and I notice
my hands are grasping at my heart,
this is where the hole resides, and it aches
every thought of you, takes a smile and a wince
I sit up now, head down
one tear rolls down my cheek
because this is all I can do
as much as it pains me to say, I love you
but like the clouds,
you just rolled on through
