BURN (Wattys2015?)

laila

I ask, "How are you?"

You ask, "I thought you knew?"

I grin, "I have a surprise."

You grin, "Is waiting wise?"

I state, "Have patience, my dear."

You state, "No patience, I fear."

I joke, "Let's be together."

You joke, "It'd be my pleasure."

I smirk, "We're different, and you are something."

You smirk, "We're brilliant, and how very touching."

I laugh, "You're distracting me."

You laugh, "Do you want me to leave?"

I reply, "Don't go."

You reply, "I know."

I smile, "I'd do anything for you."

You smile, "I don't think that's entirely true."

I stand, "Let's speak."

You stand, "How bleak."

I swallow, "I have something to say."

You swallow, "Is everything okay?"

I bite, “Lately, I’ve been craving you more.”

You bite, “How come you’ve never told me before?”

I say, "I'm blind to you, you're blind to me."

You say, "Or do we just refuse to see?"

I warn, "My head isn't on straight."

You warn, "That's okay, I can wait."

I scoff, "This might hurt."

You scoff, "You're not that sort."

 I sigh, "What's love?"

You sigh, "Us, kind of."

I stare, "I'm falling for your eyes, but they don't know me yet."

You stare, "If I opened them, I'd learn, I bet."

I purr, "Be mine."

You purr, "The thought's divine."

 I plead, “I want you.”

You plead, “I need you.”

I breathe, “I love you.”

You breathe, “I always knew.”

AUTHOR'S NOTE: 

Two things inspired me. One, a beautiful girl. Two, a beautiful poem. 

The girl is perfect in so many ways. I am an artist, and she is my muse. ^-^

The poem is also perfect in so many ways. It helped inspire me. You should read it: "may I feel said he" by e.e cummings
