I SAW YOUR FACE
Staring down at me from a window across the street
You were there and then you disappeared
As if you vanished in thin air
I wondered if it was all a dream
I closed my eyes and opened them again
I stared at the place you should have been
I wondered if it all really happened
I walked around my town thinking about you
I thought that ghosts were disfigured and warped but you were as pretty and as perfect as a rose
The next night I woke at 3:15 to find you sitting in your window
Your desperate eyes called me and I was helplessly lost in your gaze, lost in way that you stared
I found myself waking up at night obsessing with catching a glimpse of the way you glide
The sadness in your eyes was like an eclipse of the sun, like a dark cloud choking out the sunlight
Every night it was the same, I would wake up at 3:15
To find you beckoning me with those silver dollar eyes
I wanted to steal them and keep them by my bedside
I fell in love with the nights we shared
But with every night I grew more and more aware
Of the space between us and the tension in the air
As I feel deeper into the depths of this love affair
