Benched in Reverie

Reverie

I lay in bed and close my eyes

That’s when you flood my thoughts.

No matter how I try to fight,

I see a picture taken from the first night our paths crossed.

I try to remember where your hands were

Those hands that since held mine.

Those same hands that pulled me closer

When I woke up scared that night.

I can still see the glint in your stare

That forever claimed me yours.

That captivation held me there

And made me want you more.

Fleeting glances

Lost romances

And love that cannot be.

Star-crossed dances

Second chances

My pain in reverie.

When you close your eyes,

Is that what you see?

I’m sure you do not dream of me.
