In the shadow of the day

Deep in a dream

I walked into a room, you unfolded the walls

I reached out, you dispersed into nanoparticles

Each as rich as the universe itself

I watched you as I would the night sky

Childishly wondering if I am connected to you

Feverishly longing to hear your voice again

Silently searching the words

That are true but keep the secrets

A mask that’s not a lie but a layer
