i am but a dream.
a fantasy.
i am the sun hanging o’er your head.
i am the star that shines brightest in your night.
i am the sunlight beaming through your window.
i am the wind that causes the blades of grass to bend.
i am the laughter escaping your mouth.
i am the smile stretching across your teeth.
i am the chill crawling up your spine.
i am the butterflies in your stomach.
i flap my wings just to see you smile.

you grab my hand like i am yours.
i am, i always have been.
you lead me to bed like a fawn to water.
with one kiss, we spill together.
like sweet lemonade poured into a glass.
intertwined as one, flowing as one.
you quench my thirst, replenish my hunger.
finger tips glide across ivory.
you’re playing the perfect keys.
it’s a symphony of knobby knees.
a melody of freckles, a harmony of eyelashes.
i could stay in this moment forever.
i breathe you in, i inhale your perfume.
like smoke in my lungs, you invade me.
you’re a soldier of compliments.
the captain of my soul.
i watch you as you sleep.
i hum quietly hoping not to wake you.
you’re the definition of peace, my angel.
dawn is on its way, **** the new day.

i am but a dream.
i puff of smoke, a fantasy.
for as the sun rises, i set with the moon.
just as quickly as i arrived, i’m gone with the night.
