Anita

She is keeping me up tonight.

She’s done this lots of times.

We tell each other we are friends.

We know each other lies.

We’re more than that,

I want her bad, but to be good to me.

I need her love, she could be enough;

Maybe she could make me happy.

I want to grow old with her,

But my existence has become a blur.

I knew her long ago, but I want her to feel like my first.

I want the fear, the excitement, the nervousness of a kiss.

I want to tell her how I feel,

But I don’t know if she is his.

Is she alone?  Does she want my love?

Does she know I need her touch?

I need to hold her in my arms,

For I am charmed by all her charms.
