I want to be with him
Right now
I liked feeling his warmth
The slowness of his breath
As he slept
The mellow that washed over me
That moment…
When we were playing
Like children
And he shoved his face in mine
Daring me to blink
I bite my lip
To keep myself from closing that little distance
Between us
Doing the unthinkable…
I wish he was here now
My thoughts are such a jumble
He calms me down…
Repeating it over and over again
And I melt inside…
Helpless
