My heart longs for you;
a yearning hard to ignore.
if you'd let me, I'd consume you,
completely down to your core.

Feeding on nothing, but your touch;
I've never craved something as much.

Slowly starving, yet always full.
Slowly starving, yet completely whole.

Breathing in nothing, but your words;
I'd listen, completely undisturbed.
suffocating softly, as your stories filled my lungs.
As a deep desire dances behind our tongues.

If you'd let me,
I'd dive into your eyes;
those very eyes that make me fly.
I'd never again know what it'd be like to want the sky.

If you'd allow me,
I'd fall into your skin;
revealing all of the tenderness within.

If you'd give me the space,
I'd allow myself to be vulnerable.
I'd show you everything in me that's horrible.

If you'd let me,
I'd look at every part of you;
cherishing every scar,
regardless of how far.

Show me the parts you've been led to believe are undesirable,
to me you've never been less than admirable.

I'd hold every piece with tenderness, not mistaking your pain for weakness.
I'd embrace every fragment,
you're worth the investment.

If you'd let me see the person that hides;
I promise I'd stay by your side.
If you let me see the parts that were raw;
I'd gaze upon you with nothing, but awe.

My heart longs for you;
I'd get completely lost in you.
If I would just let my heart be free;
I'd let it consume me.
