Eloquent

I don't know how to bare my soul.
I'd rather keep my feelings hidden
because they tend to be too strong to control.
I don't know how to write eloquent words
or say the right thing at the right time.
I don’t know how to let things go,
how to keep it off my mind.

I do know that sometimes you look at me
like you never want to look away.
That when I am with you
I am filled with this sense of peace and security,
like the world has slowed down
and suddenly become sane.
I know that my head fits perfectly into your shoulder,
that I could lay with you next to the river
looking at the stars forever,
that when my body is next to yours I feel whole.

I don't want to corner you.
I don't want to ruin this great thing we have.
I don't want to be the girl
who reads too much into everything
and expects too much from everyone.
But I don't like going through the days when I can’t talk to you.

I have spent so much of my life going the safe route
and making my plans and schedules
and doing everything in an organized fashion.
Now I'm sitting here by myself
still feeling your hand on my back,
still thinking of your smile,
still feeling your kisses on my skin.
And I don't need to make a plan,
I don't need to understand what comes next,
I just want to be with you any way I can.
