i want you at seven in the morning kissing me awake since lightning is washing across our sheets, blazing through our synapses && sparking within our bones. my skin is on fire under every touch of your lips since your breath is flooding the spaces between my bones making me feel more whole than i've ever felt before.
i want you when the world is falling apart outside our windows, since the way i feel about you makes nothing else matter.
i want you in a way that makes all these miles && minutes longer. you'll have to forgive me since i never paid much attention to time until you were a part of it. now every second that you're not closer stretches on until
i can't remember what i did with myself before you were in my life.
i want you where this year stops && the next one begins. i want to always find you in the places where the hours fold into each other, where your arms fold into mine, && where our fingers fold into one another's, since the only thing i want to be is together.
i want you in a way where these words will never be enough. i spit out enough half thought out sentences for you to know that i'm not always saying what i mean to. but i can promise i mean all of this.
i want you with your crooked smiles that spread to the lines which wrinkle at your eyes and i want to be able to trace them with my fingertips--to trace your contours with my delicate lips--to learn the taste of what keeps you in, what defines you, what holds you together. i'd like to know you inside out && then put you back together. i am impatient but i'll wait for you
i want you like i never thought i'd want anyone or anything. i want you all the time. most of all, i want to love you like nothing else has been loved before. since all those love songs && stories didn't get it all right since
they don't know half of what i feel for you.
i want a life together in a painted house with mismatched door handles, starry ceilings hovering over too many memories to fit into four walls and a
room full of books that could never contain our story.
i want to be arrogant && think i know best when i say that
no one else has ever felt this way about anyone before.
i want you enough to give you my heart even though
i'm afraid you'll be disappointed.
i'm not like the other girls.
i don't glitter or shine.
i'm not beautiful.
i'm clumsy && broken && my words don't come out right.
but i'd give you my heart if you let me have forever with you
since that's how long it'll take to live out our happily ever after.
we still have our whole lives to spend together.
