Her

Your dark brown hair 

It’s waves and curls amuse me 

Just your presence… No!

Just the very sight of you

Even merely in a photo sends butterflies to my stomach

Like thousands of monarchs migrating south

Your the first girl in eons 

It may seem to make me feel like now 

All my pain… Gone. The longing for her still there 

Yet suppressed 

The feelings you give me make me vulnerable 

Like a stray lamp being ambushed by a pack of wolves

A sudden urge of protection rushes in me

I can’t help but want you

With every fiber of my very soul

Just to hold you I would give everything 

Just to see you smile I would lay out my life 

Like the soldiers of our past

But in the end you want a friend 

Yet I am gonna have you even if it takes me 

To spend my very last breath
