You are the 2 a.m. 

pressing down on the gas pedal just a little bit more 

to go two miles faster because that extra minute that it saves 

might as well be an hour feeling that I get. 

You are the warm tingling sensation

on the tips of my ears 

because I can't wait to melt off the day 

and melt into your embrace feeling I get. 

You are the lip biting

butterflies in the pit of my stomach 

thinking about the face you make when you read these words 

feeling that I get.
