i think of you and its
sweet like summer laughter
free and unchecked
twisting through smoke
curling to fill the spaces between us
till theres no distance at all

i think of you and its
grinning faced sunshine
a fountain breaking down all my walls of
all my unspoken words right to
my core where every smile that you smile that I smile
lives flashing in time to blood born pulsations

i think of you and its
hard biting bitterness
and the burning taste of regret
for all the unsaid things
that should have stayed that way
and all the silent words
i waited too long to free

i think of you and its
trust reborn in a different skin
not quite fitting
still weak legged shaky
with unfamiliarity
careful but stronger this time

i think of you and its
too much sometimes
to think and breathe in unison
air wont fit into lungs overcrowded with
traces of, oh what i have missed.

i think of you and its
long achey nights knowing I’ve
never wanted anything thing this surely.
Finger of thought tracing the edges
where we meet up so perfectly

i think of you and its
missing the best and the worst
of all the little things i never saw as
i was still stirring from sleep.
When your gaze was my sunrise
just touching the cheek.
