I close my eyes
and I see yours
In my mind
I see your face.
Clear as day.
Sparkling blue eyes
traces of almost gone freckles
and a smile that is
mischievous, aloof
and joyous all at
the same time.
You say wonderful things
to me
and we are in love.
But I am forced
to open my eyes
because of the increasing light
attempting to
pry open my shut lids
your face disappears
along with the
mysterious night.
