I’m a hopeless romantic
More hopeless than romantic
You see I revolve around this
Silly little cyclical cycle
Spinning myself this silly little tale
Yet when it comes to the game
The chess match that is flirtation
I falter…
Knight to a simple hug
Pawn to longing for more
You see I don’t want to lose what we have
The times we spend together
I savor every moment with you
Stealing glances from across the table
Peeking through a hand of cards
You see when we first met
I didn’t mean to fall for you
You were a clear harbor after a sea full of storms
And I took shelter in the port of your friendship
After a while i found myself dreaming
Deep in the forests of your hazel eyes
I only hope that one day you’ll see
I paint constellations in your freckles
I dream of running my fingers through your hair
Your laugh reverberating behind smiles
I dream of one day being yours
But I settle for my weekly stipend
One gentle embrace
From you
