realigning salt shakers

I thought of you today

in  million ways

I thought of holding your hand

warming it with my palms

I thought of being with you

even when you've never expressed

such desire.

I thought of loving you

Yeah... Of loving you

Even if i think

i already have

since the day i read you.

I thought of giving my heart 

for you to tear apart

and i thought

Of making you feel my love

amidst your refusal

to love me back

I thought of the warmth

I love to have

a piece of sunrise

and a million sunsets

in a jar of you

I thought of how 

oranges and lemons

blend well

and how you would love the taste

I thought of telling you

all the fears

and all that i desire

and how you make me cry.

I thought of you today

and how this feeling

never sinks with the sun

never goes half moon

and never withers like leaves

And i've gazed up a lot of times

hoping some drunken god

is crazy enough

to rearrange our stars.
