I was there with you

I took the drive. The drive along the dark and winding road. Just to be with you. Not as a friend, but as a man in love. I was there with you. Maybe for a while. But hopefully it was worth your while. I took the drive back. Another drive along the dark and winding road. To be in bed. Just to be awaken by the thoughts of you.

To watch you sleep

I’ve always wanted to watch you sleep. Many times have I imagined in my dreams, to watch your closed eyes, to watch your subtle lips, to move back the strand of hair that covers your face, to watch you sleep. A pinnacle of my desire.

I had a one time chance to do all those but decided not to. If I did, I wouldn’t have anything else to look forward to.

Because I know, I just know. I can feel the reluctance. But I understand.
