72. i long for you

i'm skeptical of you,

        and everything you make me feel.

whether it be the warm, thick honey that brews inside my stomach,

        or the harsh, frightful storm that thunders on in my head.

you are a dream that begs to lull me back to sleep,

        a whimsical hum underneath my tongue.

when you utter my name with those sweet, rose petal lips,

        my heart oozes with affection, and my blood warms in delight.

for your very existence brings joy to my entire being,

       and ignites my flickering flame of a will to live.

i'm skeptical of me,

       and my burning forest, trees falling apart and the atmosphere chaotic in my mind.

whether it be the anxiety that seeps through my veins,

       or the stress that prickles my skin like sowing an intricate design unto my skin.

unravel my emotions and tear me apart,

        for it would be an honor to be destroyed by you, the one i cherish.

when my heart aches, i know i long for you, yet i am also aware that nothing is forever,

        and that everything is temporary. 

so please, let me enjoy these fleeting moments with you,

       so that my very essence can feel at peace for once. 

- i long for you
