I swear, it's like
When you touch me,
My skin burns.
Your lips on my lips, my neck, my shoulders, my arms, my chest-
My entire existence.
You breathe life into me,
You make my emotions swell and tangle into yours.
I am like your puppet,
You control me with a few twitches of your fingers,
But unlike most puppeteers, you take care of your puppet,
Make her feel loved.
You do not toss me aside,
Instead, you tuck me into the chambers of your heart,
Keeping me safe for another day.
When we're apart my chest aches,
And when we're together it's like my lungs are on fire.
You make me feel like I could beat David and Goliath,
And be home in time for tea.
You do not rush me,
You are patient and kind,
You hold me when I am scared.
Not mocking,
Not teasing,
Just... There.
When the storms rock and I can't breathe,
You kiss away the terror.
You are my knight, you just happened to forget your armour,
But I prefer you in jeans & a tee shirt anyway.
I suppose I'm not very good with words,
I can't open my mouth to tell you any of this,
I prefer to write it all down in invisible love letters by twilight,
And simply smile and look away when I see you during the day.
