I think of you

when the sun hits my blemished face

my skin prickles at the warmth

my eyes can barely stay open

with the brightness of your sunny smile

your pretty blond hair

that makes me feel okay just at the sight of it

I think of you

at night as I get ready for bed

I look up at the stars

comparing them to the memory of your eyes

both shining down on me

and I love looking up at either, too

just seeing them, knowing they’re always there

even if I don’t see them today

I’ll see them tomorrow

and that’s enough to keep me going

I think of you

when everyone is fast asleep

only the moon knows of these thoughts

and it cannot speak, it will keep my secrets

for in the middle of the night I think

not just of you

but you and me and you with me and you on me

your lips pressed against mine

in the middle of the night

I think of your hand on my back and

my hand in your hair

trying to not mess it up but who cares?

I think of kissing you and other things

things I haven’t thought of too much

until you

I want to feel your body against mine

I want to know the taste of your mouth

I want to love your beating heart

but I only ever think of this

in the moonlight

when all are

fast asleep
