I want long stares
Across rooms and halls
Sly, enticing glares
Those silent "come and get me" calls

I want cold feet
Tucked in between yours
My ear listening to your heart beat
Sleepy smiles and soft snores

I want to dance with no music
Sway however we please
Looking absolutely foolish
Yet be totally at ease

I want long good byes
Even longer hugs, you know
Exasperated, joking sighs
When you won'tΒ Β let me go

I want to split the check
Hold your hand under the table
When no one's looking, a quick peck
Just because you're able

I want to go for walks
Steps in sync, hand in hand
We look at scenery, endlessly talk
Our conversations never becoming bland

I want to laugh
Nearly cry at your dumb puns
The way you make me smile is a craft
You seem to be the only one

I want to argue and fight
There's no avoiding this
I'm stubborn, I think I'm always right
Pushing your buttons, I can't resist

I want to show up unannounced
To say I'm sorry, to fix my wrongs
In hopes I'm not renounced
Because to you, my silly heart belongs

The hardest part is that I want you
All of you, every ounce of your being
All you can offer and be too
I wish you were agreeing

I wanted you
And you made it clear
That your heart wasn't true
My reality became my worst fears

So I want you to go
Leave my mind and my sights
You're no good for me, I know
Your leaving creates a spot for someone who's right.
This is the first poem I've written in awhile. It's about wanting something with someone who is no good for you. All of my feelings for him does not change that he's only going to hurt and disappoint me, and I'm coming to terms with that. I'm in the process of growing a backbone and letting him go, even though I hate it. I have more feelings for him then he will for me, and I won't settle for that.
I wrote it while listening to Taylor Swift's new album RED. The songs that inspired me the most were "All Too Well" and "The Last Time".
