Summary: Every day, the same thing. Written for the LJ Community "Fanfic Bake-off" prompt: Tangle


Always late,

like the rabbit of Alice fame.

Running like a cheetah

Falling like a gazelle

Into my arms.

Right where I want you.

In a tangle of limbs

I look in your eyes

and lose myself in them.

But it is too soon,

you are too young...

We must wait

for a time that is our own.

So I harden myself against you,

if only for now.

"Hey, meatball head!

"Watch where you're going."

And you're up,

and gone,

and I wish I could stay with you here

tangled in your limbs.

Tangled in you.

But you?

You're out of

sight.
