afraid of you
notapoet Apr 2021
afraid
everybody is afraid of something
spiders,
death,
commitment

whereas i,
am afraid of only one thing
i'm afraid of what happens next
the future
and whatever it brings

i'm afraid that you won't be in it
i'm afraid i won't see you again
i'm afraid that you might be
temporary

therefore i prolong
whatever this is

casting away whatever doubts
that i have been having
ever since you said those 4 words
"i like you too"

i'm afraid of losing you

summer eyes

summer eyes
summer eyes
oh so beautiful
summer eyes

i saw you sitting there
and i can't deny
the fact that you give me
butterflies

the sweet scent of your hair
travelling in the summer air
holding an open book
with no care to spare

you looked my way
like a predator eyeing it's prey
and then you turned away
and everything turned gray

summer eyes
summer eyes
oh so beautiful
summer eyes

i miss you
notapoet Mar 2021
i miss you when you're beside me
i miss you when you're away
i miss you when you hold me
i miss you when you look away

i miss you when the day turns into night
i miss you when everything seems alright
even if you still need time
i'll wait

moonlight
notapoet Mar 2021
As you lay your head
On my shoulders
Feeling your windblown hair
Caressing my cheek,

I can't help but stare at you
How beautiful you look
The moonlight glinting on your cheek
The scent of you hair, wafting the cold air

I can't fathom it
How can someone so
Beautiful and benevolent,
Come to like such a

Broken and misplaced
Person like me

a month
notapoet Feb 2021
A month, a whole month
Away from you
Your presence, your warmth
I miss them

And then I saw you
Sauntering your way to my direction
Still beautiful as ever
Enchanting;

And then we hugged
Like two waves crashing in one another
Gently; God I've missed this
I miss everything

You still make me smile
You still send thrills through my body
I still can't take my eyes off of you
I still am stupidly, in love with you

she's not you
notapoet Feb 2021
I thought it'd be easy
To love somebody else
Other than you
But I keep wanting you

I still think about the time
When you were held close to me
Our bodies pressed
The cold dissipating
With your warm touch

She's not you
She doesn't make me feel
The way you do
Her touch doesn't send sparks
The way yours do

Even though I may look happy,
Or smiling, or laughing,
My mind is thinking of you
My heart is missing you
My body is aching for your touch
She's someone I care about,
But she's not you

you
notapoet Feb 2021
you
she's broken
she's scarred
imperfect
and full of flaws
but it just takes one person
one **** person
to see through all of that
all the brokenness
all the scars
her imperfections and flaws
and love them all
love her for who she truly is
love her despite her flaws
love her with all the baggage that she has
because that person would give everything
and anything for her to feel okay
even just for a moment
for her to breathe
for he just wants her to be okay

It's your birthday today
So I thought I'd write something
Here goes,

I wish I could say that I love you

Why can't you see what you do to me?
When I see you, my heart races
I have been told that you like me
But not the same way that I do

I want to say I love you, but I'm scared
What if it breaks our friendship?
I can't stand to lose you

What's on my mind?
Can you hear my heart?
I can feel it burn me on the inside
My heart, I sacrifice
Wild and running for one person,
You; will I ever have you

— The End —
