His hands are warm against my cheek
Eyes searching each other
Entwining his fingers in my hair
Before he turns away
Away from me.
But who I am,
I don’t know
He never stays long enough
To find out.
I know him like I do my room;
Where he stores his secrets
Hidden in boxes under his bed.
I know him like the moon knows the stars
How the fish memorize the weight of the sea.
To him, I must be
A fly in amber, frozen in time
He carries me in his pocket
And I enjoy the rhythm of his steps
Next to mine.
