I want to hold his hand

And cry into his shoulder

I want to kiss his lips

And have him forever

I want to be the one he loves

And have his mind on me

Because he is all I think about

He is all I want and need

I love the color of his hair

And the feeling of his laugh

I love the sparkle of his eyes

And how his arms fit around me

I understand i’m not what he wants

But that does not make my breathe not missing

When he walks in the room, my lungs are shaking

Can I hold his gaze just a little longer, just as long as it takes

To tell him, “ I love you, please don’t leave me alone.”
