There's a smile I hide in my heart right next to where you lie sleeping in the sunlight, a lazy day I cannot bear to take away. Your breathing sounds like the ocean, and your heartbeat is the breeze in my hair. I whisper four words into your ear, but you remain silent and still, like the secrets of the past that I carry in the pit of my stomach. Your sticky lips do not answer my question. For now, though, I can wait. There's no rush yet, as my spirit hovers above this whole world and carries me from home to home. Someday I will know, someday I'll be real.
