iTZEl

he says to me through a warm grin spread across his lips

a jar, his mouth is parted

through the gap, i see his teeth,

“hello” i try to speak

i can feel my cheeks puff up as they warm up

his smile widens

is it that he sees the feelings within?

say something else, i tell myself

my mind begins to race

why can’t i think of a single word to say?

my palms become slippery

“i’ll see you later” he says to me

he turns away

“i love you”

i whisper softly, the words barely escaping my mouth

the words i wish i had said when he was in front of my face

the words that would make my day

he’s gone now 

who is to tell when he will come back

another missed opportunity

“hello” i say out loud to

another face

that is not his

You don’t need to explain yourself

Why?

Well, I can see your truth, I can see it

You don’t have to explain it

No, baby, dont cry, i understand

This level of comprehension is unfamiliar to you, I know it

It is strange to you, for someone to just get you

It doesn’t happen much, does it?

No, hush, baby, it’s okay

See don’t you see that we are.. perfect

Soulmates you could say

Come here

See, baby

We fit perfectly

Meant to be

It was written in the stars

I knew that would make you giggle

Hush, baby

This is where you are meant to be
