That feeling of your arms around me

As I lay on your chest

With your hand in mine

And you say my hair smells like coconut

 

Those words you speak

In the darkness

That make my heart ache

Because I know you will always love her more.

 

I’m the smartest girl you know.

I have true beauty.

I’m funny.

I can do anything.

You believe in me.

You want me to kiss you.

My hair smells like coconut.

 

That feeling of your hand in mine

As our fingers intertwine

And you say my fingers are cold

So you breathe on them

And they gradually become exquisitely warm.

 

The comfort of resting my head on your shoulder

As the bus rocks me to sleep

And your arm drapes over my shoulder

And I ignore the fact that you’re texting her.

 

The sensation of your fingers

Massaging my back

Deep circles

I’m relaxed with you.

 

You like my necklace

I take off my sweater and reveal my bare shoulders

Clad only in a camisole

And you approve.

 

You understand

I hate them

They never let me do anything

That’s why I love you

I’m free with you.

 

I have you

But I want more

I want all of you

You say I’m yours

Yet you’re not mine.

 

With you I’m free in my cage.
