I was drunk when we met,
Tipsy and laughing freely,
My lips tasted like ***.
I wanted them to taste like you instead.

I thought you were handsome,
And your smile was warm and cute,
And when I saw how your cheeks flushed,
well,
I knew it was too late.

You made my heart thud fast,
And then several more meetings passed
And all I wanted was to hold your hand,
So I did. And you held mine.

Weeks passed that felt like moments,
heartbeats,
I loved every second. But you were sad,
Things were haunting you.
I told you to go, to heal yourself.

That broke my heart like nothing else.
I just wanted to kiss you, hold you, tell you it would be okay
But I knew that wouldn't be what helped
I knew that would only hold you back.

Now I wait with arms wide open,
Praying to see that sunshine smile,
The gentle way your cheeks flush,
the softness of your touch.

It's been a month,
I've missed you every day of it.
My friends must be tired of hearing
How much I wish you were here
How much I wish we could sit together,
Soaking up the evening sun.
Dedicated to Leo
