terribly perfect
Your long fingers gracefully
 dance on the piano keys
 ivory, like part of you
 I close my eyes until 
 you're done.
 
 Your long fingers entangle
 with my stubby ones
 we exchange sweat
 and if it wasn't you, that 
 would be gross.
 
 Too bad I've gotta end this
 after tomorrow I may
 never hold your hand
 again,
 never see your fingers
 become one with the ivory.
  
 Too bad it lasted so long,
 too bad I have so much to loose.
 
 Your long fingers wrap 
 around my shoulder 
 comfortingly
 it will be alright
 you say.
 
 Your long fingers brush
 my cheek as 
 I'm filled with bitterness
 and guilt for leaving
 such a perfect thing.
 
 Your long fingers will
 find someone else's
 fingers to entangle with,
 
 someone else's heart 
 to enchant with magical
 music. 
 
 Too bad I'm giving this
 up for something 
 that doesn't even exist,
 for a potential
 someone else
 who might sweep me off my feet
 
 Too bad I couldn't
 be satisfied with 
 the sweetest perfection.
 
 I'll miss it terribly. 
 You are beautiful, my perfect one.
