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".
