poetry project #9: 深夜の幻想 (late night reveries)

sometimes late at night

when i can't sleep

i like to imagine you

next to me


the warmth of your soft skin

at my fingertips

the faint glow from the television

as it illuminates your body

and the comfort of your eyes

looking back at me


that look alone

can settle my heart

and melt my soul


late at night

when i think i'm alone

you're still with me


it's funny

the things we take for granted

yet any second with you

is something i treasure

more than you realize


if only you were really here

i know i'd sleep in peace

instead of the long nights

with my eyes wide shut

imagining you here
