Tiny.

He sneaked in through the window.
While she sat, biting her nails, batting eye-lashes and dancing and grinning from time to time, he lay right in front of her.
She was, of course, oblivious. She had grand plans for the night. She wanted to make that special cup of coffee and listen to that very special sound track. She had plans of dreaming the funny dreams. Eyes wide open.She also wanted to talk. Think aloud, perhaps. She was just too full of herself.


He wanted to be noticed. He had a life, after all. With life comes hope. He wanted to be with her. Maybe even talk to her.


Alas, the night faded away. She'd fallen asleep in front of the blinking screen.He was swept away in the morning.

He was, after all, a tiny dust particle.

The beginning reminds me of the Beatles' 'She Came in Through the Bathroom Window' and the girl reminds me of Rapunzel. The ending suggests this poet chooses her thought out words very carefully and the last words touches the heart and whizzes by, much like a bullet that awakens you but doesn't kill you.
