i've set you apart...

I liken you to red wine and summer evenings. You are the mist that brings out the light. I feel like we've been chasing tails for a lifetime. Once you told me that I would love someone more than you one day, I'm still waiting. I told you that you fell like the star that I wished upon. I traced imaginary words on your skin, but they weren't in my imagination. I see you in my dreams and wish that I could scratch you to know that you aren't real- I wake up missing the scent of you. I search in old letters and remaining memories, as if you would suddenly appear from the depths that we've created. In your gaze I was created, and part of me was left there. I welcomed you in, and you called me home. I was tongue tied and happy, and you said that I saw all that there was in you. I could hear you smiling. Come back to haunt me and then help me escape. The drum is still aching and the supposed-to-have-beens are in floating ambiguity. The numbers have been knocking on doors and climbing through windows but continue ending up in the same room. Let go, hold on tight and pull me out from inside.
