And I gaze through an open window Into a reality that feels too sharp in contrast with my own hazy fantasy My cheek rests upon the underside of my arm My hand delicately dangling off the painted white frame Caressing the warm night air while you teasingly recite: See, how she leans her cheek upon her hand! O that I were a glove upon that hand, That I might touch that cheek! My only response is a drowsy smile, to you Then up toward the moon My peripherals shaking the shadows that are tucked ominously away from the light
Oh, Your face Such sweet sorrow as your eyes close and one comer of your mouth drifts peacefully up Smirking about some sleepy secret I know you intend to keep One hand on the small of my back, it burns The other curving carelessly upward, almost touching mine Making me shudder as the static energy of a budding romance erupts in all the places our skin barely touches
Or perhaps
That's the cold one o'clock breeze slowly drifting in, so quiet The kind of silence that makes the world seem small And only the two of us exist All the small peaks of me rise and there's this unexpected, overwhelming sense An indescribable ache in my soul and stutter in my heart As if we've been here before Or are to be here many times again
But then you close the window And the feeling is gone.
