You

for someone who is special

As I lie awake

 

Head pressed into my

Pillow

 

Kneecaps and shins

Lining the wall

 

To help regulate my

Temperature

 

I think of you

 

And all of the sensations

That great poets and writers alike

Have ever put down in words

Hit me

At the same time

 

‘Weak knees, shortness of breath, a tremor in your chest’

 

Like symptoms

 

Like carefully classified

Steps

 

Like a guide to

Help me identify a

Diagnosis

 

And I count them off

Instead of sheep

And they keep me

Company

 

And in the mornings I wake

And the smile is almost

Automatic

 

Like a sensory

Reaction

 

To the simple thought of

‘You’
