About~*ABOUT YOU~*
I wrote about you
Read it
Over and over
Till I could tell of words that followed this word
I could tell of the perfected and overdone lines
Of the wrongs that ran through it
The mystery behind it

I wrote about you
Read it every night
Put it on my chest and slept
On days when I couldn't cuddle you
On days when I couldn't see you
I saw you on my piece of paper
On days when I couldn't reach you
You were living on my writing

I wrote about you
Just to
Feel your heart beat for me
When you said it no longer did
Feel you reach out to me
Even when you walked away
Slip through my light and day
Feel you so close
Yet miles away from my reach
You were there
Even when you weren't

I wrote about you
In a musical way
Just to hear your voice, to never forget
To remember what it felt like
Calling me with the prettiest names
To never forget
Your words, I love you now and forever
To always listen to our mumbling
Saying how much love we had inside
Romantic enough for my liking

I wrote about you
To keep the smile you gave me
At the advent of our love
The small breathes we shared
When you held me too close
As we were inseparable
Intimate enough to grasp each other's air

I wrote about you
To always keep in mind how perfect
I presumed  I was to you
How gentle you were with me
How weak I was when it came to you
The love we had
The love you showed
How high I felt when it came to you
Most graceful of love

I wrote about you
To feel you
Have you, own you
To keep you in mind
To be there for you
Be there with you
Even when it seemed effortless

I wrote about you
You were asleep
I could not read out to you
So I kept it close to my heart
I kept you in my heart, darling

My heart still burns for you
To me infinity meant something
I wish I could say the same for you
I wrote about you to never forget you
Even as you beg me to walk away
