still, none the wiser (poetry)

alive

my hands graze the pulse of your neck.

your heartbeat flows through my fingers,

so soft and sweet,

and i wonder,

if we have ever shared the same melody.

if there was ever a time when the humming

of our lifelines matched up perfectly.

and i wonder if perhaps that time could've

been when we were dreaming of one

another.

our thoughts holding hands and our hearts

working for the same, unachievable goal.

to keep us alive.

♡♡♡♡

like an old ghost passing briefly through

their loved one, your life passes through my

hand.

it's beautiful, the song that keeps you

moving, walking towards me, looking at me

with those wondering eyes of yours.

it's a song i wish i could fall asleep listening

to and wake up with it stuck in the

deepest parts of my mind.

it's a song i can sing fluently, perfectly,

lovely.

it's a song i can imagine hearing in another

life, so detailed and clear that it's impossible

it wasn't just yesterday.

but in this other life, you are playing with

my hair and i am telling you these stories

and our hearts are always in sync because

there's not a moment we don't dream of

eachother.

perhaps, it could be tommorow.

i move my fingers away from the beat of

your heart, yet i still feel it in my bones.

i hope i'll always feel you.

(ew, this is kind of sweet.)
