as the desert absorbs the day to last through the night
i take your smile into me
i pause and hope to stay locked in your eyes.
.forever.
but forever is a long time
much longer than it takes for you to get distracted
to find something you'd much rather look at.
or is my stare so unnerving you cannot behold
the things stirring deep inside of me
the things you cannot help but see
the things i want to show you.
but you close your eyes
pretend not to see
how much i need you simply to touch me
to love me
not even forever
just for tonight
then you can find some other...
*-beautiful distraction-*
