I wish I could hold you tonight.

I wish

That I could stop my heart from skipping

When I look into your eyes

I wish

That I could catch my breath

When I hear your name spoken by strangers on the street

For I don’t even know you yet

But I see your face in my sleep

And it is the most beautiful sight

The kind of thing that ancient people drew on walls

Worshipping the beautiful subtleties

That is how I see you in my dreams

I wish I could see you with eyes open

I imagine it would blind me

And throw my senses into frenzy

That must be why I am not allowed to know you yet

My heart is not healed enough

I wish it was.

My hands feel the ghost of your skin

And my senses know that you are all around me

I can feel your whispering breath on my neck

I can see the faint imprint of your body in my bed

Even though it wasn’t really there

I wish

That If I was to be spending my mornings without you

That the forces of nature would not remind me of you

But they have been whispering your name to me consistently

Since we have first laid eyes on each other

That lightning bolt thunder clap moment changed me

And there is no going back again to being oblivious to you

Because you are in every gust of wind on my skin

You are behind every sleepless night

You are behind every unexplainable smile

You are the reason for the heartbeats that skip

As I wish I could hold you tonight.

I'm sat here, after a lot of puppy watching, working my way through my RR. And then I saw your name. Damn. I knew I was in for a treat. Guess what? I wasn't disappointed. Superb. You have a skill to write from the dark and the liht and to shine even in the darkest places. And this IS NOT SWEET, it is beautiful
