I can't make the hairs on my neck go down
I can't look away from your eyes even from five thousand miles
I want to hold you next to me and whisper every minute every hour every day
I see your lips in the dark when I fall asleep
I find it hard to suck in breath every painful second
I want to stroke and warm your hands incessantly
I kiss your neck and lick your life blood veins dream after dream
I can suck your fingertips one by one by one if my eyes close tight & hope enough
My chest is burnt with painful beats
I want your smell to linger & to taste you when I wish
I want everybody else to disappear
I sleep pretending I am curled around you
I want your breath to freeze upon my face and never melt
I want to live inside you
I want to hear you say 'my love' over and over
I want to flick your hair from in your eyes or tie it back and stare
I wish for constant kisses from your lips and eyes and mind
I need to touch your soul like you touch mine and leave a lasting sign.
