Just seen the girl I liked & wished I could see right through her
Wished I could be her skin
Wished I could be her voice
How lovely it is to have a special person in life
For all evil seems to die out when she comes along.

Enlightening sentences,
heighten senses,
take fixed countenance
and furrow them
in fierce concentration.

I could kid myself
and say that you are in me
but really

I am just trying
to force the issue by attempting
to conjure you

as well as delay the inevitable  

waterworks the aching
sickness
and the pain

so with that said
it is time to give you
and me the much needed

punctuation
we deserve
and just

end this!
