Warmth

I know it's not allowed
I know it's not my due
I know it's against the rules

And yet,
When I see you
I always ask you
Five more minutes?
An hour? 

And even I neglect to ask you
Be sure
That it is only because
I want
The whole day
Which I dare not voice
And so, since
Asking for five minutes
Makes no sense
I abandon
The whole enterprise 

For when you are gone
I will be left with
A deep and wide crevasse
That takes over my insides
That nothing can fill

And only when 
You are there again
Do I feel the abyss
Filled
With warm sunlight
That floods me up
From the inside

Ending in
The dawn of a smile
