A Name

I can't define it -
the occasional moment where
your skin touches mine
and the world stops

If there's a name
let it remain unknown
a mystery between you and me
because it would be the last of it we'll see

I can't define it -
the skipping of my heart
every one in awhile
at the flash of your dimples
or adorable smile

If there is a name for it
I don't want to know
for the very second the secret is told
it could decide to fade from its warm glow

I can't define it -
the empty hole beginning in me
when those mysteries are hiding
and I can't feel you like I did anymore

If there is a name for it
I'm terrified to know
that it means the sun won't shine
and the moon will cease to glow

I wish I didn't suspect
the ugly truth behind it
that we may have outgrown games
and our pieces may never again fit

If there is a chance
that my fears are reality
I am ashamed to say I might drift away
or at the very least forget the person I found in me
