Prompt: Longing

"I wish I could freeze this moment, right here, right now and live in it forever." - Peeta

I look at her in the hallway,

Those enigmatic grey eyes,

A flick of her braid sends me dreaming,

Longing,

For me to be more than the Boy with The Bread.

I dream of a place where...

Layer upon layer,
Word upon word,
We are built together,
Wisps of ideas gone unheard,

We are the topping to the pie,
The stars in the sky,
The leaves on the trees,
The shaking of my knees,

The fragile existence of past together,
Is like pastry,
Cracking, crumbling,
Tasty
Pastry.
