A Whole Melancholy of Lovers

ben

'Ben' slips off my tongue endlessly
It comes out as sweet as sugar
But rests in my thoughts bitter like the lemons life has given me
There's a thing about you
Something that tells me I would want to spend
Summer nights with you
With a hazy dream state poisoning us
Between kisses

Ice cream dates and walks around town,
I could hold you in my small arms
And see the earth and it's sisters in your eyes
And we could bask under the stars which love the moon
More than we can understand.

I want nothing but overdoses
Of loving glances and laughs
Of shy hand holding and tight hugs
I want my heart to stop and yet
Pound all at once
I want to kiss you so hard that we forget to breathe
