Your arms kept me close,
Holding me in a way I'd never been held before.
One arm was draped around my shoulders,
And the other you kept on both of our laps
As you gave me the hand I always wished to hold.
Your embrace was a sweet escape
From everything that kept my mind racing.
All of my thoughts were finally put to a halt.
It was a calming sensation,
One I thought I would never be able to feel
With all of the anxiety that kept my mind going throughout the day.
The feeling of your thumb
Brushing over my shoulder
Smoothed out all insecurities I had.
It helped rid me of the tension built up within me,
And made my skin tingle,
Especially when it made it's way over to my back.
The feeling was relaxing,
Lulling me into a state of ease,
Making my eyelids heavy.
I felt as though I could actually sleep
For the first time ever,
Without the insomniac inside of me
Keeping me up.
I cherished all of our moments together,
And I appreciate all of the thought you put into us,
Along with all the love you handed me.
Unfortunately, as much as I enjoyed the experience, none of it was serious,
A relationship that started off as a joke,
Then grew more real the longer we went along with it
For the sake of having something
Neither of us ever had.
Regardless of the conditions, though, thank you for being the first person
To ever say ‘Yes’ to me.
Thank you for listening to me,
And thank you for trusting me.
I look forward to what the future holds for us.
