Chasing shadows

Written to the person I care about the most as our relationship dangles precariously close to the end

I feel like an intruder
creeping around outside your window
hoping to catch a glance
a crumb
a morsel
I spend days replaying
moments past and wonderfing
how I could have done it better
Did I really ruin something that
was everything I wanted
needed
desired?
silent tears
screaming regret
spending so much time enveloped
in my subconscious has proven
toxic
volatile
dangerous

But I have so much love
inside me
that I want to show you
prove to you
that I am more than big words
strung together in hastily
constructed sentences
prove words spoken softly
on warm pleasant nights
that my heart beats for you
fabulous functional flutters of fi

I crave your aura
the way a room lit up
when you arrived
how our fingertips danced
as we walked
your beautiful, devestating smirk
I want you to see
how much I miss you
to read the words that I will never
find for you in my eyes
because nothing captures how you made me feel
how inspired and alive

my heart craves
my body longs
my need burns

raw, real human emotion, blatant and bared, what i like about this is the easiness of relation, because you are honest, this makes it flow nicely, your thoughts rumbling onto the page in a torrent. really dig this and look foward to reading more...'fabulous functional flutters of fi' great line!
