Reverie from Shadow Puppets by Spencer LaJoye

You have a way of saying names like
they’re for someone you love
You hold a gaze like a grudge
And a personal one

What I wouldn’t give to be a history book
You authored and memorized
A page, if you saw me,
you would recognize

There’s no reason
After one short look across the room
I’d even cross your mind again

But it sends me into reverie
Black and white in my mind
I’m light on my feet
There’s rain on your cheek
You try and untether me
Closeup by the streetlight
By the time that I
Come back to real life
You’re out of sight

What are the chances you would be here
In my coffee shop
What’s a cool way to ask you
If you come here a lot?

There’s no reason
After once sweet smile across the room
I’d even cross your mind again

But it sends me into reverie
Black and white in my mind
I’m light on my feet
There’s rain on your cheek
You try and untether me
Closeup by the streetlight
By the time that I
Come back to real life
You’re out of sight

I’m out of mind
There’s no reason
To believe that you would notice me
Or remember me
Enough
Enough

Enough to be my reverie
I’m weak at my knees
Your hand on my cheek
You try and untether me
kiss me under moonlight
By the time that I
Come back to real life
By the time that I
Open up my starry eyes
You’re out of sight
