Happily Ever After Is Yours

We cried 

We danced

We fled

In the rain

Naked.

Soaked.

Drunk.

you miss me now?

you hear me now?

you feel me now?

Now I hold my tears whenever you are around.

Now I pinch my legs whenever you are around.

Now I chew my tongue whenever you are around.

       Now I’m awake from the fantasy…

Don’t you give me that look

Don’t you show me the wrinkles on your left eye.

Don’t you show me the hair sticking out of your nostril. 

Don’t you show me the red bumps running all over your cheeks.

Don’t you give me that look

Don’t you make me happy.

Don’t you make me remember.

Don’t you make me regret.

Don’t you run away. 

Run Away

             Run

Away 

                  run 

away
