Flawed perfection

I kiss you and I feel a love

A deep longing to look you in the eyes

Say "I love you"

And to hear you repeat it back to me

I want to lay in bed with you

All night as we bathe in the moonlight

Then wake up to the fresh kisses

Of the dazzling morning sun

But I look at you

And I feel those hurtful words

From the day I dare not remember

I can't stop myself from thinking

What do you think about when you kiss me?

Our slow supple kisses

That send chills up and down my spine

Leaving me paralyzed but wanting more

What do you feel?

When you look into my brown eyes

These eyes that have seen your heart break

Then witness it's recovery

Do you feel anything other than my longing touch?

When I run my fingers through your hair

And down your neck

Tracing Imaginary lines on your collarbone

Is there any way that I can not feel this way?

To look at you and know

You don't love me as I love you

To look at you and feel not enough. Yet again.

What do you feel for me?

We date, we go out, you said I was beautiful

You hold my hand, and you make me smile

I never thought you would make me cry.

I smile but I feel this sadness build

I feel it weigh me down

It's as if I'm the moon, always the moon

surrounded by stories

but forever chasing the sun.
