Mirage.

free fall.

You were awake.

It was late.

I could hear,

Your voice was

Sleepy.

I could hear,

Your dreams

In your

Mumbling sighs.

You spoke

About the rain,

And us.

"You in your red lipstick."

"I had a smile on my face."

You stayed awake,

Because

I wanted to be

With you,

Every waking hour.

And,

In this

Night.

The distance,

Precipitates.

Your words,

And your light

Laughter enfolds

My empty arms.

You can't fall,

In love,

With him.

I reminded,

Myself.

I promised.

But,

You sounded

So raw,

So unguarded.

I knew,

I couldn't fall.

For,

I had crashed.
