thank god for nights

the piles of snow
yards of sand
miles of forests
seventy seven rivers
and everything else
between you and me
that i will never cross

the walk under fall trees
(sunset colors all day long)
that you will never share
the beat up car
you will never ride
the sloping walls
you will never marvel at
romantic stairs
you will never pose on
and everything else mine
that you will never touch

far away from you,
i close my eyes
as if that will make me forget
that we will never be
in the same frame
except in photoshop

as if that will shield me
from sights that
are not for your eyes

only the nights remind me
that at least
we lie under the same moon
