hazel eyes with flecks of green
clouded with tears
and your heart wades within them
he always asks you how you are feeling
but you have difficulty articulating how he makes you feel
and even though this is not what he means when he asks you this question
the way he makes you feel erodes everything else
your heart crumbles when he is holding you
but it shatters at the thought of him leaving
he is going to be an ocean away
and he is going to be on your mind
simultaneously
what is meant to be will be they say
you tell yourself to have faith
you push yourself to wear a brave face
but you really just want to lay your head on his chest
hear his heart beating
and tell him to stay
