Untitled

the asphalt beneath my bare feet feels cool
the day is sunny and warm yet the grass is cold to the touch
as i lay on the grass, a shadow is cast over me
i feel your presence as my breath quickens
my heart pounds and my mind races with thoughts of why you are here
my skin goes clammy as you lay beside me in the grass
i keep my eyes shut tight, feigning sleep
i feel you breathing next to me, wishing you would touch me
i know there are others around but the only one i sense is you
i mentally plead with you to turn to me,
to gently brush my hand with yours
as if in answer to my silent cries, you softly whisper my name
a tear rolls down my cheek
i'm not saddened, don't fret
tears of joy are all i shed
i feel your hand brush mine and the world around us disappears
i am all yours and no one knows it but us
i want to scream it to the heavens but i cannot
you've stolen my world and made it your own
yet you've left it entirely mine and wonderful
reluctantly, you let my hand free and leave my side
now the tears flow freely, these tears of sadness
that you have left me alone again
return to me, my mental cries go unnoticed
i rise from the grass and stride across the cool asphalt again
returning to my life among them
as sad as i am, i know that i will be with you
once again
whether in my dreams alone or on the grass surrounded by millions
you will return to me
some time
soon
