You look at me...

...and then the sunset sets your smile on fire.

["Close your eyes and drift by my side,

and watch the butterflies flutter by.

Trace the stars with your gentle eyes,

and comfort my heart with sweet sighs."]

Each throb of the heart creates a symphony of notes, each note ringing with a thousand promises. Promises of nights spent sprawled out on breezy hills, making grass angels as though the world was a monochrome and we were the only ones in rainbow. In our own little world-myworld,yourworld-the fireflies dance across the sky and the melody of their humming wings could be the theme song for tonight.

Because tonight, is our night.

And the stars sparkle for you (although you're a nebula all on your own) and each wish upon a star "i wish you would look at me the way you look at her" would be falling, leaving streaks across the golden sky. As the sky lights up in fire and the scarlet clouds fan over my crumbling souls you pick me up piece by piece and fix me together with the touch of your lips.

Lips on lips you trace every curve of my body and mend the pieces of my shattered soul--and i feel alive again, "i can hear my heartbeat" And the synchronized beating of our hearts, invites the paradise of shadow and light that fills my sky into an ocean of joy. The warmth of your skin on mine soothes the slicing winds and jagged ice, and the wounds and blood flowing like hungry streams remind me why i'm still alive. And your gentle eyes, those gentle eyes, i drown happily in their lullaby...

...and the butterflies flutter by.

Then everything stops and I wake up with tears in my eyes as I go back into the cold, dark walls of reality's prison where butterflies can't fly anymore.

--because you're not here to put me back together.
