Even though it has been ages 
since we've talked
I know I got to you
I seeped under your skin
And I still reside there
Quietly waiting...
For you to feel that itch again
If you would just scratch 
You could still feel me

greetings melissa

that was a true Alabama slammer. so well constructed. each line offers us a glimpse into a romantic soul. the title is perfect. it directs the rest of the poem. i especially adore the word "seep". it's so sensual. the climax of this poem is haunting. if you would just scratch, you could still feel me. so beautiful.  sense of longing. i hope he or she reciprocates. i truly do.

love is an emotion that wades deep into crystal tears

Congrats Melissa, positive write at that and besides a longing for
a return in an answer; cleverly made by a clever metaphore...
