I don't know what to call this sorrow drenched prose.

I adore everything about you.

And I hate that I do.

Because it makes everything harder.

 

It makes me shake.

I can't even write a euphonious poem anymore because the thoughts in my mind are no longer so.

You're absolutely everything to me, yet, in all honesty, you're nothing.

 

It's that slightly shorter tooth.

It's that dimple in your chin.

It's that smirk I know you make when you like something I say.

 

It's when you said you'd like to steal my lips.

It's that moment when you said you'd dream of me after I sang for you.

It's that time you said my skin drives you mad when you think about it.

 

It's how you're the only one who knows about the hidden devil.

It's about how you love the way my tongue illustrates words bewilderingly so.

It's the way you want my mind just as much as my body.

 

It's about how you love dinosaurs and your dog.

It's the way you message me 4:00 in the morning with only a heart and a smiley face.

It's how I would do absolutely anything for you.

 

Like a drug, how I would sell my soul for just one more hit.

It's a lie, when I tell myself I love someone else.

It's the truth, when I say I would wait my whole life loving and waiting just for you.

 

It's how I pour my heart out this way,

Knowing,

I can never have you.
