QTJA Poem by Debby Pillitteri
And if I fall asleep
With tears in my eyes tonight Know I'm not hiding my pride Stop thinking I'm lying And believe I'm just right Smiling and crying with dreams, I will fight To hold you and miss you And whisper so clear That love hasn't escaped And with space, I'm here To wrap you and continue my fighting for you To keep you inside of this cloud you live near Above my fluffy blanket and the plane in the sky Know I'm looking down at you, this one single time And reflecting on images of you and your smile The way that you look and what you're doing the while I presume I can't sit and depress over you But instead, Make a dream of white paint And thorned lollipops Come true Of a key you grip tight and await to unlock When I'm home and looking in your blue eyes of a Mess you attempt to clean up But here in your room, I came here for you And try not to fall fast in my confusion of thought Lose no hope that I will return Cause soon, my love, the haze will form again With the sand sticking to your soft skin You remind me of it, again and again And so I count down to every hours remaining The seconds, the days The time that I'm waiting The first and only person I'm willing to see Risking it all, just for you and for me The tighter my hands get, the nervous I am And hoping you haven't given up on our plan And every time you fall asleep, including tonight If your tears spill out, Reflect on images of me And my smile The way that I look and what I'm doing the while And forget not everything
