nights
a poem by amy montoya it’s nights like these where i miss you the most. the grasshoppers are singing a lullaby and the fireflies are lighting up the dark night. all i can hear are my loud thoughts. and they’re all screaming you. it’s 1am and i should be sleeping. but i can’t even blink without seeing you in the millisecond of darkness when my eyelids kiss each other. oh how they love to kiss each other. oh how i wish i was kissing you. every night the moon comes out and tries to embrace the sun as it goes down to sleep. the ocean water gets pulled back, but wont stop reaching out to touch the sand. the night is still. yet nature doesn't stop. the moon never stops trying to kiss the sun goodnight. the ocean never stops reaching for the sand. nature never stops embracing. nature never stops loving. and if it means my mind has to keep screaming and i have to lose sleep, i will. because if my love is as consistent as nature’s, then my nights will be spent missing you. i won't stop reaching. i won't stop embracing. not until our lips kiss endlessly like my eyelids do. oh how they love to kiss each other. oh how i wish i was kissing you.
