Ren-Dez-Vous

[absintheoding]

I want to shout out whispers,
Sweet nothings that mean everything,
Screamed quietly into your ears.

I want to feel your hair,
Stinging my face gently,
Choking around me politely.

I want to meet you,
After a short wait that lasts forever,
In a secret place that everyone knows about.

Where the trees kiss the sky,
Where they grab the earth with their roots,
And everything is suddenly joined in a second for the rest of eternity.

Ren-dez-vous

I will reach for you,
Like thousands of branches,
Covered with thousands of leaves.

I will hold onto you,
Like ancient roots,
Disfigured but strengthened by time.

I will stare into you,
Right into your bright wells of light,
With my own bright wells of light.

And my bright wells reflect your bright wells,
And likewise, your bright wells reflect mine,
And those reflections reflect in a second for the rest of eternity.

Ren-dez-vous

Looking at the lovely lines that you are made of,
Lines that lie on the limits of your face,
Lithely leaping into little, lonely corners and large, lazy curves.

Daringly, I decide to dodge my downcast mood,
Daringly, I decide to display my delicate feelings,
Daringly, I decide to discard my disguises.

No, I'm never going to let you go.
No, I'm never going to keep you here.
No, I'm never going to say that I don't care.

Cause now, when you are leaving,
And sweet, temporary goodbyes,
Are hurting in a second for the rest of eternity.

Ren-dez-vous!
