ADD
I've become afraid of the dark.

I lost my sunshine,
The reason I wake up
The way all my deep rooted efforts bud
The light on my path of love;
I lost you.

I find myself too many times
Wondering when you're gonna fill the space in my bed
Because you already filled the hole in my heart,
So I figured you'd be open to the idea.

My fingers never stop twitching
And I can't help but think
That they're looking for yours
To latch on to and never let go
like teenage summer nights
Filled with pinky promises
In which we both realized
That you cant break something
as sacred as us.

My mind is always running now.
I think its trying to catch up to you
Lapping past any other thought process in my head,
Speeding faster than my heartbeat
When we make eye contact
and I fall in love with you all over again.

There's plenty of girls out here in college
But now that I'm at the point
That my eyes dart from girl to girl,
Frantically hoping that one of them will save me
By taking the shape
of the most beautiful girl in the world
And being you by surprise,
I start to notice
That I bite my nails now more than ever,
Nervous that if you become anything less than my primary concern, my body wont know how to respond anymore.

My legs wont stop moving
Because they're a bit lost
Now that they're not trying to trip you
Until you fall a little bit more in love with me;
I think my ADD is growing.

I cant focus on anything
except trying my hardest
To remember
the feel of your curves,
the grace of your hair,
The tingle in my lips when we kiss,
The perfect harmony of your voice,
The slight slouch of your stance,
The heartwarming laugh you make
Before you smile,
The way your tears felt on my chest
The last time I was able to hold you.

I think
I'm in love.
I think
My body is trying to escape it, but
I think
I finally found out
What its like
To feel alive.
You gave me ADD -
Addictively Deep Devotion.
