somebody else's

The spaces between you

The afternoon sun

Beguiling looks on your face

Drowning in pretense

To be happy just being near you

Something’s always wrong

Lingering glances

Your solitary fingers

Reeling in my mind

I’m somebody else, your somebody else’s

Do you know what I want?

We are two empty seats

In the farthest row of the theater

Static yet profound

Overwhelmingly ignored

I don’t want us to be a great story

Just keep me up ‘til 4 in the morning

And kiss me in puns and whims

Crooked smiles, silly excuses

My terrible poetry

Your quaint retorts

Time is nothing but time

Say good morning, say good night

In a parallel universe,

I’ll love you, you’ll love me

Say goodbye.

in this sea of people, drown me in your love
