8:05 a.m. (10-3-16)

I'll remember that look.

I could feel it
burning through my eyelids.
I could hear my breathing
and imagine it in sync
with your blinking.

I didn't dare open my eyes
for fear of you
closing yours
and losing this moment
in the flutter
of our lashes.

I was drowning
but I'm in the ocean
and everything
is peaceful

the waves
the stars
the sand

it's a spell.
