I stay awake in hopes that

you would light up

the lock screen of my phone

just as bright as

the smile that breaks

the surface of my lips

when you permeate my heart

with your natural charisma

and dandelion touch.

I fall asleep in hopes that

you would be the star of my dreams

that you will

kiss me as feverishly as

you do when you make

music with your mouth and fingers

and as passionately as

you talk about the world's unknown

when the world should instead

know you.
