missing you does not feel romantic

in the way that your words do when you write me

sweetly, and gently with the tenderness spilling from the ink

this longing doesn't mirror the racing of my heart during that first dance

as the shadows in the room were playing on your face

i couldn't keep up with the pace at which my feelings for you were shifting,

changing into something softer than casual conversation to entertain myself with

and why would i choose that when occupying my mind with you sounds much more appealing

romantic is the way you kiss me slowly when we're alone

your lips taste of promises and excitement

and we're both filled with fear

but god, fear has never tasted this sweet before

as sweet as subtle hand squeezes that remind me

this is real, now i'm smiling

i'm the biggest fool for you

my poetry is usually dark and dreary and sounds like broken love songs

but you've got me leaning towards romanticism

you make the words flow into something light and sounding of happiness

i adore it

I adore you.
