all it takes is a kind word from your tongue of knives to spread a smile across my face,
a warm and engulfing embrace to make me feel at home,
a certain look and laugh to be the cause of my happy mood.
if only you knew all the control you had over me, maybe you would be more careful with my delicate heart
but for now, i cannot blame you, for you do not know
you don't know how my heart erupts when you say my name,
you don't feel how the energy that radiates from me when i'm around you could light up a nation,
you don't see how i smile when our memories cross my mind,
you don't hear the words i express when i speak about you.
i have never seen myself like this around anyone, and i have never seen any one else like this when they're around a special someone.
i wish you knew how badly i want to be near you, just for a moment, to lay down next to you and pick up the pattern of your breathing while you stroke my back and tangle your fingers in my hair as we speak about our fears and pasts and regrets and secrets.
it concerns me all the things i would give up for you, but i cannot help it.
when you are with me, my worries and sorrows and emptiness all melt away and boil down to a blissful peace
