I wrap my arms around you

Again

Intertwine our fingers

I know you are awake

So stop pretending to be

Asleep

I love the way

Our silhouettes leave

No white

Against the background

We leave

No place for loneliness

No place for sadness

I love the way

Our bodies

Fit together

Like pieces of a puzzle

Perfectly

I'll pretend don't notice the smile

Tugging at your lips

When I kiss your cheek

We'll play this game

If you desire it

When are you going to pretend

To wake up?

I am saying to you

"Hiro-san

I know you are awake"

Your eyes snap open and your face turns red

Just like always

One day

You will stop pretending

To be

Asleep

The end is not supposed to be depressing. Somehow it sounds like Nowaki was talking about when Hiroki will die someday, but it is not referring to that! So please don't take it the wrong way. This is a happy poem. How was it? First time writing from Nowaki's POV.
