YOU
You’re like a fine
line that separates me from my spirit
Almost like there’s a
part of me that’s floating…free-falling
…wanting to lose
myself in you
And the other part is
grounded – on lock down – afraid to feel because I want to feel.
I can’t keep my hands
off of you – and the moments we shared (as few as they were)
Keep playing and
replaying themselves in my head
Dancing over my heart,
Fluttering over my
mind,
And I’m pinwheeling.
Until I don’t hear
from you and I have a moment to think
And everything is
clear – like a full moon on a cloudless, autumn night.
You look at me from
across the room and there I go – smiling.
Aching for you
Like I’ve never felt someone
gaze at me like you
Or kiss me like you
Or rest their head on
my chest like you.
And then I loved you
– stretching and filling you…
Exchanging passion
for tenderness
Warmth for heat
Heartbeat for
heartbeat
And after all that,
I’m still feeling you…
But when I’m away
from you
A level head takes
over and I put the wall up…
So that I don’t know how
much I miss you…and your smile
Or maybe…it’s just me
wanting…
You.
