did you hear the news

Your words

They are infectious

Your eyes

Leave me breathless

Your touch

Lingers on my skin

Your lips

Soft as tulips

I just want you

I want all of you

All the imperfections

Like when you rant about your dad

Or when we kiss and your facial hair scratches my skin

The day we talked about your insecurities

Listened to the night chirp and chime

it was perfect imperfection

you drive to fast

you call me love

you tell me my soul is as white as my hair

you walk like an acoustic guitar

Stroking the floor with your feet to the beat of my heart

but it races when i look at you.

Like a heart attack

My heart just stops when you look at me

I dont want to imagine what it will be like when you leave

I cant think like that

Life is sad enough.

But I could listen to your heartbeat forever.

Pounding against my ear as we lay in that unmade bed

but i cant think like that

Because we dont have forever.

But we do have today.
