Work Text:
I would close my eyes to see you.
Charmed,by your sharp glare that always reminded me of the sunset melting into the ocean.
Flattered, by your body that shaped a man ready to protect and welcome me in those arms.
Embarassed,by your sneaky comments proving how much smart you could be despite that superiority complex.
And that made me laugh.
I would close my eyes to see you.
My hand is held by yours as we walk along the shore, the sun is warm and the skies deprived of any clouds as much as my mind.
My eyes meet yours.
In a second,you could see my heart.
You could undress my soul.
And I would let you expose my deepest secrets,inch by inch.
Because this moment feels like anything I've dreamed before.
Our feets brush against each other, sinking in the uncomfortable sand while your sweet nothings make me forget about the unease.
There is only you,rocking my body gently while humming a love song,your arms wrapped around my waist.
It feels like floating.
I realize that you are the ocean.
And I,the sun melting into your affections.
I would close my eyes to see you.
Sitting on the sofa,you hold me close to your chest as we watch a movie about impossible loves.
You don't cry.
You wipe my tears asking if I'm okay.
I shake my head,not wanting to recognize
the bleeding of a wound.
After all,you adore me so tenderly.
What could I ask for if not for your love?
What could I ask for if not for your voice soothing my anxieties?
What could I ask for if not for the unspoken confessions as we make love?
I would close my eyes to see you.
We are kissing and your lips worship my body like nobody else did,declaring your heart to me as we reach our peak.
We are trembling under the sheets, seeking for more, for this story to never end.
For our story...
to never end.
But movies could not play forever.
The space around us is fading.
As much as the light in your eyes.
Your words stop reaching my ears,speaking a language I don't recognize.
Your touch floats with your silhouette, darker and darker it becomes.
Flickering but revealing itself for who you are.
For what you are...
Empty.
Artificial.
Unnatural.
Unreal.
I would open my eyes to see no one.
It's the same bedroom.
The same sheets.
The same bed.
The same ceiling.
But that warmth disappears like my hopes.
My body shivers realizing your absence.
My mind freezes as the reality hits my conscious.
My heart aches
More than the rest.
Because it believed that you were the saviour, from these walls of silence.
Because it believed in those romantic movies and happy endings.
Because It believed in who would live in the pages I've drawn.
And nowhere else.
You would never talk to me.
You would never look at me.
You would never hold me.
You would never love me.
Because you don't exist...
If not in my own dreams.
Dreams that would melt...
in my dark ceiling.
In my cold bed.
In my empty sheets.
In my lonely bedroom.
Till the next movie starts.
