My realities are mere fantasies that I have the audacity to breathe life into. I am a being, with a scattered mind but an old soul full of peace and passion.

invisible robe</p> <p class="MsoNormal">A lover, only once</p> <p class="MsoNormal">I would only get glimpses into his heart</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Never touching it for long enough to feel an entire beat</p> <p class="MsoNormal">His dancing fingertips, sauntering around my waist and up my back were the only signs of his Sentimental Mood</p> <p class="MsoNormal">His favorite song</p> <p class="MsoNormal">I thought of him on cold trains and under orange moons</p> <p class="MsoNormal">A musician</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Pushing his thumbs down into black and white rectangles</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Singing in off keys</p> <p class="MsoNormal">He knew just what songs to play</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The ones that said everything I had ever wanted to say to him</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Between the lines and in every beat break</p> <p class="MsoNormal">We would bang out rhythms on wooden tables</p> <p class="MsoNormal">He would beg me to dance</p> <p class="MsoNormal">So unaware of the fires he started</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Illuminating the darkest rooms</p> <p class="MsoNormal">He said he knew me</p> <p class="MsoNormal">He said he knew every expression that my face could make because I had looked at him with every single one</p> <p class="MsoNormal">It was true</p> <p class="MsoNormal">He said every thing without uttering a single word</p> <p class="MsoNormal">His body language could have spelled out his exact sentiments in mid air had his heart or mind been able to function like a typewriter</p> <p class="MsoNormal">But neither of them could</p> <p class="MsoNormal">So I would just feel his soul whispering to mine</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Revoking our platonic vows</p> <p class="MsoNormal">His tail carried seducing venom that made my Libra scales fluctuate like an un-calibrated seesaw</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Painting memories</p> <p class="MsoNormal">His in washable watercolor</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Mine in permanent acrylic</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Somehow he always managed</p> <p class="MsoNormal">To leave his strokes on my canvas</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Coating my every curve with swirls beautiful and boisterous like monsoons</p> <p class="MsoNormal">But</p> <p class="MsoNormal">He is my friend</p> <p class="MsoNormal">He is just my friend</p> <p class="MsoNormal">We are not just friends</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Sometimes to the point where it seems we are just not friends</p> <p class="MsoNormal">A title</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Too simple</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Yet fitting</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Easy</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Our story lied in the secret of a flower</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The last petal fell</p> <p class="MsoNormal">He loved me
