faces in the dark

we stayed awake one night,
and sat in the dark
occasionally talking.
i made faces that you couldnt see,
and imagined you doing the same.
i smiled every time i did it,
and every time you talked to me,
and every time you reached out
and touched my arm.
i wanted to feel that grip
forever,
even though i knew it couldnt last.
and i wanted to feel those eyes,
reaching out for me
across the darkness,
looking for the person
i couldnt be in the light.
i felt more myself in the darkness.
and i hope you felt more of me too.
