gentle wind
i want to go for a walk you say
the sunrise is beautiful and the wind is gentle
though, i will never notice the sunrise,
not even when you point it out to me
i'll notice how your hand will brush mine
and the soft way you'll speak to me
so gentle, that early in the morning
i'll notice each gap in between the conversations we'll have
the small silences
awkward pauses
and how i'll keep laughing or talking nonsense in order to fill those holes
i'll notice your eyes
and the way that sunrise will hit them when it shines through your window
the way they'll look at me
and you'll notice me looking at your eyes, way longer than i should, probably
nonetheless, i'll tell you that the sunrise is beautiful
i'll tell you how wonderfully beautiful the orange, pinks, and blues blend
and how i've never seen one like this where i lived,
in order to take my mind off the heartbeat in my throat
and so we'll go on a walk
everyday
because the sunrise is beautiful
and the wind is gentle
