I need to feel you
With your arms encasing me,
Our fingers entwining,
Without a word passing
Your oh so young lips.

I need your long, wistful gaze,
Just catching my glimpse,
Flipping my stomach,
Forming butterflies
That are so out of place.

I need to have the chemistry,
As I long for your love,
Your touch,
Your warm kisses
Lingering on me
Ever so delicately.

But then
I need to hate you,
Your careless ways,
And the empty passes by
We so briskly deny.

I need to open my eyes
And see that none of this is true.
Am I too dramatic?

After everything
You still capture me.
You shouldn't, my love,
Let me be.
Let me go.
