i want to kiss you
and make you feel loved
even if i've failed many times
doing so
i want to hold your hand
just like you held mine
and run my fingers
past your knuckles
i want to marry every bit of you
because i don't want you
to age without me
i want to tell you that i'm sorry
i let you down
rejecting all your love
because now i miss it all
not just the memories
but i miss every vein in your body
i miss the eyelashes that hover your eyes
and i miss the lines on your palm
i miss the colour of your eyes
when the sun shines upon it
i miss the jacket you covered me with
the love that you clothed me with
and the company you provided me with
i want to marry every bit of you
because i don't want you
to age without me
i want to tell you that i'm sorry
i let you down
rejecting all your love
because now i miss it all
not just the memories
