i want to trace i love you's on your
shoulder blades,
so that you never forget the feelings you give
me.
every morning, i want to wake up cold
because you stole the sheets.
i yearn for those restless nights,
in which your steady breathing
and warm embraces
lull me back to sleep at four in the morning.
press your palm against my chest to feel
my heartbeat and
remind me that
i am alive.
let me pull you closer so that i can
breathe you in; your soul trapped within my lungs.
and when you hear me sigh,
hold my head between your hands
to let me know that
i am not half as bad as i think
because your eyes are so beautiful and i see myself in them.
