Indent

 All I feel

And all I hear,

 All I see

Is far too near for me

To put a finger on it.

 I’m here now,

Or have I been here before,

 I think I’m winning, but,

Who knows?

Who’s keeping a score?

Make up a number for it. 

 I smell smoke

I feel the heat.

 Is it the fire in me?

Need a breeze to burn me,

So much, the sun gets blinded.

 Am I her

Who she dreamed of,

 Floating up, in bright daylight?

Maybe it’s my millionth time,

but to her, it’s my first flight!

 All the spaces

All the indents,

 All the reasons,

I can’t comprehend,

Are there for a reason, really?

I fumble to catch the air I breathe.

Toes

Your toes and mine

Warming near the fire.

Your hands in mine

I’m losing myself in your smile.

This is paradise.

I look into your eyes 

Only to find your love so deep

It makes me afraid that I’m in a dream.

You say

It will be fine.

We’ll have our time.

You say

We’ll have our time.

I know we’ll have our time.

But I miss you right now.

I want to kiss you right now!

I just can’t be this far

I need you moreee!! I need you more!

I need you now and I needed you in every moment that has passed by,

I needed you when I didn’t know who you were,

I will need you more now that our toes warm up together.

I will need you a little more every passing day.

Baby I hope that’s okay.

I need you more today.

I need your toes to stay warmer than mine,

I need your toes right next to mine
