In Love with the Seemingly
You sit across from me in this shrinking room
Every so often glancing up, making small conversation
Enough to fill the gaps
Enough to blow my heart up with the hope of your words
The sugary sweet and honey dipped blanket coating every syllable parting your lips
There are so many, too many moments I'm smitten by you
I feel as if staying away was never something written in my future
Always destined to find you
Destined to be enchanted
To fall in love
To seek your warmth and company
Nothing less and always more
In a way, you've been good for me
Taught me strength
Helped me gather control
Embraced my inner self
You led me away from a shackled future, helped set me free
But my other hand shows decline
I get jealous...you're not even mine
I'm restless from lack of attention and blind with glittering hope for unlikely scenarios
I suppose...that we could still be
But the question is always when
I'm growing ever impatient and while you speak words of encouragement and hope
You land blows of confusion
Do you really want me?
