sigh.

[feelingleft0ut]

if i could i would, rest our cheeks together
so i could hear every word that escapes your mouth -
and kisses could act as punctuation,
and i would pray and wait for periods and exclamation points.
tracing your outline in my sheets.
painting your face on my pillow.
faking going to sleep,
so i can fake waking up to you.

but my hands are tied by miles.
