You live in the building
across from me
you're four numbers away
away from hearing your voice
& it takes me in all
that I can try to do
to not cross that street
to knock on that door
or pick up that telephone
& it kills me
because I have never loved
a man
as I love you

But I digress
& I have regressed back
to someone
I never wished to be
I have to face the road now where
there is no choice in my lonesomeness
for at a minimum of the time being
simply to attempt to tap
into becoming me
find who I am
be the best I can
because the thought of you
fills me with joy
but by the actions of my mind
my mouth decided to take
we have parted for now
until a later date

compared to the actions
Ill make
to become who I need
to be for me
& who I will become
to gain back that trust
I so unintentionally lost
and beg to receive back
& be in your arms again
feel that addicting kiss upon
my lips that are blushed with
the mere thought of contact
to see those sparkling eyes
directed at me with unspoken words
across the room
in your room
under your covers
surrounded by darkness
and the faint blue light
of your stereo
tantalizing us with lyrics
at midnight.
