mercury has no moons

i dont know how to fall asleep or where to put my hands. in a world where im a surgeon, youre astrophysics. in you i see everything i know nothing about. a wonder, a mystery. youre so beautiful. we draw lines in the sand and when the tide washes over i find myself across it. in the mornings when you havent woken up i feel your heartbeat against my skin and count the seconds between your breaths before realizing we shouldnt be so close in the first place. i hope you dont notice the way my eyes linger on you every chance i get. i dont think you do, ive always had a staring problem. theres nothing special in the way you brush your hand against mine and crumble into me the way you do but ill keep grasping for anything.

tonight ill fall asleep hoping you dream of me. xo.
