I am
Wearing the shirt you let me
Steal from you
(Probably just for one
Night. But, gosh, what
Must your mother think?)

I am
Breathing in the scent
Of your skin
(Why is your smell so
Comforting? So
Familiar?)

I am
Warm and cozy in this
Red shirt's long sleeves
(A little too long for me
But who am I
To be complaining?)

I am
Surrounded by your shirt
And it feels like your arms are wrapped around me
(I find myself
Craving your hugs sometimes... it's like
I'm addicted to your strong arms. I think I am.)

I am
Having trouble getting to sleep because
Not even my dreams are safe from your face
(I don't know what's
Gotten into me! It's as if
You've permeated my skin. Permeated me.)

I am
Being. Here. Now.
Breathing.
(Maybe if I inhale your
Warm smell enough you'll
Just become a permanent part of me)

I am
Seriously considering never
Ever giving this shirt back...
(Because darned if it doesn't
Make my heart feel
Fit to burst!)

I am
. . .
Happy :)
