Affectionate


If I could hold you in my arms, I would never let you go.

I long for your touch so I could stare into your eyes and be lost forever in ecstacy.

To feel your kiss on my lips and my fingers tangled in your hair.

The way your breathe intoxicates me, like how it numbs my body.

The sensational feeling from when you let me know you love me enough to last a life time.

You got me dancing in my room.

I wake up every night just to think of you, and I can't sleep unless I know you're okay.

You're my favorite distraction,

You always make me smile big even when I don't want to smile.

You give me butterflies and make me blush as red as a giant tomatoe.

When my heart was ugly and empty, you came and filled it with love and beauty.

You've opened me because you're you.

Tell me everyday I get to wake up to that smile, 

So I can hold you in my arms to make you feel safe.

You're my everything, everything I ever wanted. Why? Because I love you.
