I glimpsed love

Somewhere between the hugs and the "I love you's"
Somewhere amidst the times we stared at each other
for no apparent reason.
Somewhere between the gifts
The trips
Somewhere I missed the glimpse of reality.
When it occured to me that I myself
was looking
seeing
through cracked glass.
At a painting painted by an artist
who did a half assed job.
Looking at..
seeing with..
closed eyes.
Somewhere behind the closed doors
Sometime when we stared at the starry sky.
Somewhere during the times we spent
the countless hours playing
guitar hero and that one racing game.

(You know I let you win.)

Somewhere between parted lips
and tickling
and picture taking
and memory making.
I guess I forgot to open my eyes
and realise reality.
Even so
considering how easily I can tell you
"I love you too"
I'm glad I could escape reality
with you.
