Longing, reaching for your touch,
Hoping for something I’ve craved since you left.
I used to be able to feel your hand,
The crinkles and the calluses helped me feel you.
I felt the hard work you’ve done and who you had
Become.

I don’t get to see you everyday,
Like all the other couples that I see.
How to shake the pain,
Looking for the undeniable truth.
The truth that we’re in way over our heads.

Trust has become my betrayer.
Soulmates departing for months
Only to come back to yesterday.

Always feeling like I’m a child when you’re around,
Laughing and giggling my way through life.
Afraid to burst through into my own self.

John Donne knows our lives,
Lost in leaving, only to realize
You are my compass.
He wrote that no matter how far away two people are,
If the love is true, then it’ll succeed.

Waking up to a cold screen with your face
In the distance.
My phone screen can’t fulfill my needs for
You and your company.
Urgency to leave and snatch you back to my life,
Trying to find the cure to my aching heart.

Everyone tells me I’m too young and clueless,
To understand what I’m doing.
But all I know is that my heart beats for him,
And I smile for him.

I’m too young to have another person
Be my first and only priority.
Why did I have to fall in your lap?

Loving you is like waking up and seeing
A beautiful blanket of snow.
You’re cozy and eye opening,
I’m constantly wanting more of you.

I wasn’t looking for love,
I wasn’t hoping for love,
But I found you.
And I’m keeping you.

Obsession has always been portrayed as something
Dreadful.
I guess you could say I’m obsessed.

You haven’t been the first one to leave,
So why do I need you so badly?
Why do I only think of you?
Why do I only care about you?
Why are we doing this?

Oh wait,
I love you.
