The Girl

Lastnight she came to me again
her hair dances in the breeze as she almost floats right through the window
her eyes gaze into my soul and she knows what I need without saying a word
she knows who I am, and everything about me...though we rarely speak
a lifetime's worth of love flows between us, yet I don't even know her name
the room is dark, it always is, yet the pale moonlight glitters across her face
I see her eyes, and focus in, those beatiful eyes, they speak the words her mouth will not
she lays with me, as she always does...ever silent, I enjoy the love
I close my eyes, thoughts creep in, accompanied by pain and anguish...they always do
I know she must leave at daybreak, but do not understand why
WHY MUST YOU LEAVE ME HERE ALONE, CANT WE BE TOGETHER FOREVER? still I say nothing
our eyes meet again, she understands, yet I get no answer from lips nor eyes
but this is nothing new, she has never answered, I can't imagine why
I hear the chirping of birds, yet the window shows no light
oh god no, it's time again, she's going to leave me...again, and again
I see her fading, so familiar, yet something is different...what could it be?
what is happening, it seems so strange, I look to her eyes, one last time
and in that moment I understand what is different, and I lean in to her
our lips meet for the first time ever, and in that kiss I get my answer
the one answer that couldn't be seen or heard, but only felt
In a flash she is gone, my eyes open wide but my vision is blurry
the chirping of the birds is louder now, and the window is suddenly lit brightly



















Oh? The answer? Why can't we be together?
The answer is simple, you can't sleep forever.
