he daydreams


when you are not with him
he daydreams
he concentrates on an image of you
he has painted in his mind
he hears your voice
and the last words you said to him before parting
he feels your last touch
your last kiss
he surrounds himself with your air
and breaths you
and the desire to write it all down
to cherish that memory
to make it lasting art
overwhelms him
and he does
and he daydreams
he imagines you reading his words
touched by his words
and somehow knowing
though he has so little to offer
he gives it all to you
he opens his heart to you
and he daydreams
he sees his words in a book
that everyone wants to read
not because he desires greatness
not because he desires fame
but because he longs to tell the entire world
that he loves you
