All I Need


The pounding in my heart is insatiable.

When I crave for lips,

When I yearn for his voice

When I marvel at the image of his face in my mind,

I feel whole. Even if he is not here,

Even if he does not yearn for me

My blood still rushes at the thought of him

And my knees weaken And a smile graces my lips.

I giggle when he looks my way

I sit in wonder at the possibility

Of us.

When my heart does not beat for him I miss the joy

The possibilities

The pain

That he comes with.

I learn to never hear his name the same way ever again.

Yes, when he is scraped from my thoughts

I am void of pain

But I am also deprived of that racing if my heart

That I am in love with...

The prospect of being in love

Has enamored me

More than anyone has.

He makes me itch for my pen

When I hear of him.

I feel empty,

Null

When he is absent from my thoughts.

When I am alone I think of him;

Wherever he may be
Whomever he may be
And I have all I need.
