Breathlessly, I rush through the halls after you,
Holding your hand so dearly as my heart pummels into my chest,
I watch as your wild Garden of Eden drifts into your sight,
Even when I thought you couldn't see- you always did,
You made sure that I could see the world even if you couldn't,
But what you didn't know was that you were my world,
My lover and my best friend,
We giggle amongst ourselves as we sneak off from the party,
Just you and I,
Only you and me,
Our toes touch the earth and mother nature embraces us with her musk,
Intoxicating the both of us as we became drunkenly stupid and in love,
The words rest in my throat when I look at you ... so beautiful,
You weren't doll baby pretty,
You weren't moon or sun pretty,
You were the universe pretty,
That's the type of pretty that you couldn't see all at once,
But when you did... It took your breath away and wished you could be just like it,
My hands rest on the vast expanse of your back,
And yours on mine,
Our hips thrust into one another's as we stare into each other's eyes,
Trying to see home within the other,
You intertwine your legs with mine, and we sway in silence,
The only music that could be heard was the radiating love from our breaths,
I love you; I love you; I love you; I love you,
I had never danced with anyone before, and it was like my head was underwater,
My senses were flooded with you, and all I could taste was you,
You tasted of sunsets, long car rides, early morning field trips, and you,
Kiss me please,
Our lips met in a slowed rush and in that moment, it was our earth,
You wrote your name on my heart, and I printed mine on yours,
Forever? Forever.
Just you and I,
Only you and me,

Brief Description:
This is probably one of favorite poems and it's simply because I wrote it from a place of love. I really just love- LOVE because it's such a warm and rare feeling to inhabit. I hope that every one of you will feel that in your life even if its plantonic intimacy or something along those lines. I have never been in love (hopefully soon) and I'm always daydreaming about falling in love and how that'd look for me. Like I'm not a huge Disney fan but I do love beauty and the beast a lot and I've always said that I can't wait to slow dance with someone I love. That'll be the ultimate form of intimacy and love for me- just staring into someone's eyes and holding each other as we sway at our own pace. I'm yearning again! cbckcndsjzm BUT this poem was also inspired by the song 'Two Slow Dancers' by Mitski and it's one of my favorite songs. Give Mitski a listen if you're interested in yearning and love! It's good for your soul! Btw! Please checkout and support the artists that I list because they are amazing and deserve the recognition for it!! 🤍🤍
