"Watercolour"

Sometimes I open my mouth

to tell you something

only to remember that

you already know.

Sometimes, as I run my fingers

through your midnight hair,

I am attempting to untangle

where your thoughts end

and mine begin.

Sometimes, when our watercoloured edges bleed together

I grow scared of knowing you so well

that even when we're together,

I'll be lonely.

Sometimes I ask myself how much I love you,

only to realize that I have no words left

by which to measure the extent.
