We may but we may not

We may not end up together,

but I know you’ll stay tonight,

telling me one of your awful jokes

at eleven eleven,

while biting the tip of my tongue

and laughing into my mouth,

your breathing warm and soft on my cheeks, 

your fingers slowly playing with mine.

Looking at me hungrily,

with eyes that seem almost black

in the shimmering dark blue light.

We may not fall in love,

but you’ll care for me more 

than anyone has ever cared before,

and I’ll do just the same

as I always do.

I will rest my head on your chest and

tell you stories I’ve never shared,

and you’ll do just the same.

Our naked bodies intertwined,

a light breeze catching a lock of my hair

as we both listen to the heavy rain.

We may not end up together,

we may not say out loud,

but we’ll hold each other tightly,

and stay together 

tonight.
