Creases and Shadows

It's been three days,

or three months

or three of something

that I haven't seen you

and wish that I could

or that I wish you would

and it's breaking me to pieces

It's that time that we spent

in the small and the

lent that

won't let me forget

how much and 

yet

I wish I could

love you

I'm trying to say  hello and

hoping that you'll know

Love is so hard

when you're in

the throws

and it's not your time

or your place 

and you pretend to

be another 

so and so

But there is no one

but you

in the shadows and

creases 

Each day I'm waiting

and I fall to pieces

Today I saw you

and a whisper in my ear

I felt you oh so near

tell me please

when can we and

when it it our time

or is it just something

I want to hear

It'd been three days

and three months and

then some but

time has stopped as

nothing makes sense

this thing has

become us

I reach for you

you touch me too

Would you know

what I want

to tell you

I feel your breath

upon my neck

and I can't say no

please

don't make me say no

in the creases and shadows

I can't let you go

not ever

no
