something real

You helped me see

The scars on my skin

Without having to let anyone else in

You noticed me

Noticing how I feel

Longing for something real

Now I’m afraid of looking for your eyes in every crowd

I keep thinking things I’ll never say out loud

I’ll miss the way you laugh whenever I say something clever

but I know

I can’t sit in your shade forever

As badly as I want to

There are rivers to follow

Even if your gaze feels like heaven

We both know where I’m destined

So find me in your dreams tomorrow 

Narrate me

Find me a meaning that I can’t define

Am I losing my mind 

To want you this badly?

Is it you, or is it me

Who I’ve been missing

And waiting on for so long

How could it be that this feeling is all wrong?

Enclosed is one more gift

I gave you at the beginning

A sign of meaning yet to come

You asked, “What made you think of me?”

I can’t explain the scale of perpetuity 

I can only show you how it feels
