Infinitely Close

the other day as was laying on the floor laying, looking at the stars that we had stuck up on the ceiling i awoke from a place that wasn't sleep a place where things were real but only there a place where we used to visit long. i awoke as i was missing you eyes closed enough to stop the world but not enough to stop the stars from leaving scars in my eyes. i had closed my eyes looking, as is natural, at the backs of my own eyelids, noticing how infinitely close they are, as close as anything could be. then i thought of you and as you crossed my mind there you did appear on the backs of those same eyelids just as close as tears. there you were and there you stood alone save for yourself, the two of you not even inches away seen as one
