this one's for you

crash into me

be like waves against my sandy shore

bite my lip when we kiss

taste my blood if you want

how your name sings through

every one of my veins

let it explode across your tongue

and your teeth will ache

with my name

keep your eyes open

look into mine

and see yourself reflected back

with all the love i

have for you

we’ll make each other feel alive

and other romantic cliches

like making your favorite breakfast

darning your socks

with your head in my lap

a hand in your soft hair

and a smile playing across

your slightly chapped lips

i might bend down to kiss you

pull you close

rub your back

just hold you there

a snapshot of

domestic bliss

let me be a hopeless

romantic a little bit longer

always too quick to love

lingering when you walk away

and maybe you’ll turn around

give me a little wave

and maybe you won’t

and maybe

it’ll be better

that way
