i never thought i'd miss you
(we were so wrong, we were so ready)
like this, anxious hands second guessing in the yard
with spotlights crawling across the fresh night sky
i can almost see the tears we now share now, glowing hot on your precious cheeks, precious to me as you see the same thing --saline down my freckles as i hide my face and tumble into you; fingers entangle with this guilty mess of memories and desires long engrained within us

we can't help ourselves

you can't help me, you say you want me to be happy --but im not. i dont tell you this; my only desire is for you to hold that same happiness: heartwarming and tangible as a kitten in the lap where my head used to fall perfectly, so sleepily and innocent --you would wind my hair around your thick fingers and hum,
                           i would smile against worn denim

and the night would pass swiftly

tonight does not;  the moments freeze uneasily in the bottom-heavy midnight as we sway, undecided, at once reunited
                      
                                 and forever divided
