i wanna swim into
the deepest of your thoughts,
i wanna know what you're like
when you're scared and tired
in the middle of the night
i wanna recognize your sadness,
even when it's silent
i wanna taste your laughter
as you breathe it into my lips
i wanna hear you smiling
through your voice
in total darkness
at three in the morning
i wanna smell your neck
after tears have ran down it
i wanna find your sweatshirt
in my laundry
in the wake of a stressful afternoon,
and stop to feel the butterflies
that come with the mere thought
of you
being a part
of me
i wanna feel
your heart beating
in my chest
