Thinking Of You

we take a drive

We take a drive in a space loved by us

Where we discovered what we always knew

A space where you can’t let go of me

And I can’t let go of you

 

A drive to a tree that knows only us

One with friendly branches and leaves

That shelters a bench full of “I love you’s”

With a view that no one sees

 

Your breath is a wish come true

With your head lain across my thighs

Your closed eyes give no clue to your mind’s wandering

While mine wanders toward the of end of time

 

Your chest rises and falls

The ease of which calms my soul

The world is at peace as far as my eyes can see

But they see only what they know

 

As you sleep I am now in my day dream for two

Praying this moment never ends

For in this dream I know the happiness of angels

And life is just pretend
