thinking about you at night
is different than the day
because all of a sudden I see you as pieces
not a whole human being

I see you as your favorite song
or the dream house you want to build
I see you as the way you always leave a generous tip
and I see you as your favorite sweatshirt
pushing against my warm arms as you twitch in your sleep

but in the day I see you as a whole
my boyfriend-- my love
my comfort and my happiness

at night I need you with me
every little piece
so you can see me as my pieces
and we can be a puzzle
