we both know it'll eventually happen.
we'll take ourselves behind closed doors
and let our mouths go soft
as we kiss ourselves goodnight
instead of goodbye.
i'll eventually find myself in your room
and lay down on your bed
and maybe run my hands across your sheets
just to see how it suits me.
we'll eventually wrap ourselves in each other's arms
and have the kinds of conversations
you only have when the moon is at its peak,
and we'll share secrets you only share
when that grey light of dawn
starts to peek through your window.
yes, we'll stay up to see a new day break.
eventually.
but for now i kiss you goodbye
and walk back to my apartment,
alone.
because tonight is not that time
and that's perfectly okay.
but just know
that night will come,
eventually.
