I felt real then

the words spewed from new lips

with new intentions

and it took some time to realize

how beautiful your smile is

the way it cuts

and collapses

onto your mouth.

And, it's a beautiful thing

to see you laugh

and roll onto your stomach

as my carpet folds into your curve.

At this moment

is where I find it hard

to hide all of these words

and feelings

that flow out of my voice

and into yours.

I know i'll remember this

it will replay in my head

as I lay awake

tracing your silhouette

by the dim light

of my eyes,

not as bright.

I remember when you first touched me

-I fell for you

like autumn.

And, as you fall

into my shoulder

my once poetic intentions

turn into clumsy hands

and mismatched syllables.

I am unsure of my words

though my thoughts are clear.

So, I'm writing my own ending

with the words

that I can never say.

I am real

When you are here.

And I wish that forever could stay

Just like today.

I could waste away

And smear into you.

And, when you stare at me

I mean nothing

But, in the past

I’ve meant much less.
