(daydream)
the darkness, the sunrise, the coffee.
(daydream)
laughing, collapsing, floating.
(daydream)
the eyes, the freckles, the smile.
(daydream)
wake up.

(focus)
she isn’t looking.
(focus)
don’t get distracted.
(focus)
nothing so childish.
(focus)
maybe a little smile.

(breathe)
don’t make it obvious.
(breathe)
keep your eyes straight.
(breathe)
stop trembling.
(breathe)
say something.

(think)
it’s been awhile.
(think)
i love this.
(think)
you captivate me.
(think)
do you feel the same?

daydreaming
of roaring diesel engines.
daydreaming
of bright, glowing skies.
daydreaming
of glimmering string lights.
daydreaming
of you.

how is it you make me feel this way
with all your smiles and waves that cast my fears away?
you’re an absolute daydream, and in you, i’m lost
in eyes agleam, in a heart unseen.
is it cause for concern?
perhaps one day, it’ll be our turn.
but for now, you know
us daydreamers, (we never learn)
