Emotional Investment

The moon in the sky
With the radio playing
My head on your chest
With your heart beating fast
As we get closer,
It seems further away
With this long-lived wait
It's finally all I ever wanted
But it still seems so distant
Now there is more to beg for
In the depth of your eyes
You're just so uninvested
Not realizing you're all
That I can think about at night
Our breath lingers in the midnight air
With all the things I shouldn't say,
You couldn't say
How you feel about us
It's familiar but so new
With time filling our empty spaces
In between now and then
And five years ago
You give me your all
On your quilted bed
The trust that is faltered
Because I turned away
Not realizing how much I was leaving
Standing in my wake
So sing me a love song
The way you did back when
Dance with me and smile
With food in the oven
Standing in the kitchen
As time goes bye
I know people change
Everything about you I love
Always stayed the same
I make my art
You make your songs
I'll scribble out my heart
In a book I tuck away
For no unknowing eyes to see
Your hand in mine
The window open
The stars shine down to see your face
And I see a smile
The one that i've missed
Haven't seen it in so long
A foreign film playing on the television box
Speaking in a language we don't know
Much like our own
Cigarette smoke like a wave in the air
Your hand tangled up in my hair
This piece of me has been so empty
Almost nonexistent
Our puzzle pieces
Finally are put back together
And I feel i'm whole again
The glow of a cherry
Illuminating your face as you breathe in
The silence of the dark
The beauty of that moment
When I can almost tell you feel
The way I do
The way we used to
Makes me feel like everything
Is finally alright
So I can finally kiss you
Call you mine
And say goodnight
