These windows move

Far too fast

For me to notice

The heads now turned up

To the sky

Following the downbeat of your smile

Sliding over the legato of your laugh

Again, the sensation is unmistakeable

Of you, walking into a room

Beneath the stars of which you strive

To become

Heads, turned up to the sky

A marvel, you.

An enigma, it seems

The more i try to figure it out

The easier it seems to become

And yet farther away I am

I'm not overthinking anything

Until I get a second opinion

Which of course isn't an option

It's one of the reasons why

I pull away

Only a second opinion that I'll approve

Will serve as confirmation

Of what I already know

We've run out of time (not quite)

But somehow that makes it

All the more

Poetic

How tragic though,

You never seem to look at the clock
