Once upon a midnight clear
I counted kliks tween there and here
Remarked how far away you were
Then missing you (and missing her)
Recalled a Once upon a dream
When you were much more than you seemed
With bright colors about your head
And eyes that peered into my bed
The eyes of any beast or man
Could be assumed part of your plan
To keep me watched, so I'd stay true
To all the stories told to you
Oh! Suspicious looks had I
For drawn shades and the unseen eye
My cat, padding across the bed
Over my legs, which prickled red
Recieved from me a hurtful glare
And stared right back - were you in there
Were you watching as I watched you
Eyes of green behind yellow-blue?
At last I declared myself undone
Were this a contest, girl, you won
Opened the door, tween earth and sky
And noticed one reflecting eye
This ravenfeather, peaceful ken
His head turned towards me - you again
Peering out from behind black eyes
Waiting to catch me in my lies
And I smiled, looked into you
From kliks away as the crow flew
Though you unnerved me - yes, you do
I loved how you could keep me true
And so,
Caring more than I otherwise would
Slipped outside, and strolled the wood
Making sure when you looked you'de see
The one you wanted me to be.
