infinitely close

the other day as was laying on the floor

laying, looking at the stars

that we had stuck up on the ceiling

i awoke from a place that wasn't sleep

a place where things were real but only there

a place where we used to visit long.

i awoke as i was missing you

eyes closed enough to stop the world

but not enough to stop the stars

from leaving scars in my eyes.

i had closed my eyes

looking, as is natural,

at the backs of my own eyelids,

noticing how infinitely close they are,

as close as anything could be.

then i thought of you

and as you crossed my mind

there you did appear

on the backs of those same eyelids

just as close as tears.

there you were

and there you stood

alone save for yourself,

the two of you 

not even inches away

seen as one

it's such a tall, tall voice that tells this story

[i.am.the.sun.]

i really don't know what that means, i've never heard "tall" ascribed to a voice before.
