Chemical Compound

Inched closer
With every syllable
We part with turned faces
Every note
Every chord
Of fragmented thought
Disfigures.

Time stood still
In that one tiny secret moment
I felt my heart jump
Shocked into motion
I wonder if you even noticed...
Probably not
A figment of sultry imagination...
The sun faintly taunts.

I could wish you into being
Right next to me
Inside me
Around me
Protected
Surpassing my expectations
That wither and grow
With passing moments.

But
You ARE here
Forever
Wherever
Doesn't really matter.
