I woke startled
As you pulled me closer
Gently tugging me
Bringing us together
You tucked my hair behind my ear
And softly kissed me
As I drifted back to sleep

It almost made me forget

Rays of light
Shone in
Due to lack of coverage from the small
Dingy curtain
Illuminating your features
And illuminating my smile

I almost forgot

I woke again
To you sitting next to me quietly
You laughed and said we had to go

You almost had me

We walked together
Not touching
But close enough
That it didn’t matter if we were
We got in the car
And went on such a familiar drive
You took the long way

It was like you wanted me to

But you pushed me away

You tried to trick me again

and
well

You did.
