In The Sun

He makes movies
And she reads too many books
They thread hands through the water
Standing still in the sun

And she knows
That he can make her
Or break her anytime he wants

Lying back
Watching the stars
Standing still
But still they move
In silence
Slowly towards each other
Till her hand is his
Threading together through the sky

And she knows that he has made her
In her teddy PJ's
Coldplay sings in the distant
As they fall, laughing
Onto his bed

Holding her close
He tells her what she never believed
But knew all along
You are beautiful, he says
Again and again
And she is

He makes a movie
Out of their day in the sun
She bites her lips
Hides in the hollow of his neck
I wasn't here
And this isn't real
like all the books she's read
Standing still
They move
Closer
To the heart
This isn't real
And it is
