the idea of you


every morning sunshine 
brings a small piece of you
to my mind and I dip it 
into my regular coffee 
to drink away my longing for you

those twilight hues remind me of 
your eyes, which peeked into my soul once 
and saw how my pain 
swallowed me in silence

Every night I stare at the 
dancing cursor on my empty message bar, 
which prompts me to text you... 
to talk to you... but I'm unable to... 
what if you typed back asking: 
sorry, who are you? 
It'd break my heart a little, you know

As I shut my eyes 
for a good night's sleep, 
I see us speaking 
those thousands of words 
which we may never speak in real life

Call me a hopeless romantic 
maybe to a fault 
but would it be too much if I say
that your smile and warm gaze 
brings my melancholic universe 
to a grinding halt


Is it you 
or the idea of you 
that's driving me crazy?
