To You, My Love, To You
I love you
In every sense of the word
I want to stay like this forever.
Just stand here . . . Right here
With my head on your shoulder.
Gently resting on your silky soft tuxedo.
The Vibrant Strawberry lip gloss,
Still fresh and sweeter than ever on my lips.
I ponder for a moment how your lips would taste.
Will they be sweet like mine,
Or maybe they’ll be salty like ocean water?
Still we stand close,
Your arms wrapped around my waist
Holding me tight against your body.
Gentle breaths caress my neck.
I try to move closer,
As do you
Only to realize there is no space to move into.
I listen for the gentle humming of the song being played.
I want to forget everybody else.
For there is only you and I here now,
And I want nothing more than to gently press my lips onto yours.
Should’ve, would’ve, could’ve
But I don’t.
Instead I choose to keep it
Like a priest in confession,
I have sworn myself to secrecy.
But the truth still remains,
I love you.
