rises in east, sets in west

I am so scared
that one day
your eyes will glitter
as they reflect the rising sun
over the Atlantic,
and where I am it will still be dark.

And when I wake, I will only feel
the weight of the clouds
on my eyelids,
so I will go back to sleep, back to where
I can still kiss you.

You rise in the East,
I set in the West.
