knowing you

i don’t need to be yours (and i know i never had a chance and never will)

but if you could only know how much it would be

for me

to simply spend a night talking about

everything your heart feels

everything it desires.

i just want to listen and listen and listen to

your heart

spilling into the night

in your voice

from your lips

with your eyes on mine or fixed

on the ceiling

or the stars if you’d like

whatever you’d like.

i just want to lie near you

and know you 

that’s all.
