We are all round pegs fitting into square holes
Staring at you peacefully resting I see myself how I want to be seen. I feel the warmth of flames licking my insides like razor blades and my eyes itch as if they had been lost long ago yet I still can feel them somehow. I wonder if you see me as I wish to be seen, wonder if I take your eyes to fill my lost ones I will see myself in the mirror in any of these ways. You look so happy rested, too happy to disturb. I would never dare commit a sin like waking you from the dream of a life you truly deserve. As much as I want to see myself in your eyes, see the reflection of my dreams coming true as you blink, I dare not wake you. Only in sleep do you make me wonder these things, for your beautiful brown eyes don't look back into my soul when your lids are closed shut. I yearn to kiss your cheek and watch you smile again, yet I hold back for fear of disturbing your slumber. You grab my hand without knowing, you bring a tear to my soul again, it runs down my cheek and as I feel it I realize as warmly as the tear is how lucky I am. How lucky I am to be here in this exact time at this exact place, and I realize no matter how things end up this is a moment I will always cherish. Something small like this always means more than all the I love you's in the world combined. My heart yearns for you to wake once more, and I take the chance with my long awaited kiss...
