Sweet Darling


It's been too many weekends since the one That I called him, I asked him For darling, sweet darling, just a bit of a pep talk And he told me that I was the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen I said that was not possible, he said, "I beg to differ" Dear sir… With you my palms ache if we aren't touching But sometimes I keep it that way only because I know you like the feeling Of warm conversation instead of fingertips, those silly voices we make Just because we know we're going to make each other laugh And smile, I smile so much when I'm with you There's so much I need to learn about what goes on inside your mind I see the way you look across the room and I wonder How many moons could rise before I escape into those eyes And feel every thought every breath every heart you feel I wanna feel that too I wanna sing you every note until my chest gives out In the darkened daylight, if we were to look out on the horizon I'd wanna give you the sun and let you feel the warmth Of my arms and every piece of my whole heart My sun, my promise that everything will be okay The fragile promise that I'll always be here The yearning feeling of needing you to be here The wandering, waking thought that maybe I want you to stay here Every life I want to live I want you here with me dear I want to know what you write about And what caused your pain and What caused your heart to burst into flames What motivates you every single day and what your smile is all about Taste every little dark chocolate square inch of your soul I'll remind you that me, this person here I'm still the person who curls up on your bed And listens to your soft voice as it backbends in thin air Holds your hand as we watch clouds and I'm distracted by your fingers I'm always every kind of beautiful, and so are you My darling, sweet darling From you I drew inspiration that was more than I deserve I was given even better a reason to face the world even if it's early morning Although I made my mistakes, if I did my fair share of villainy I'm still the same girl who just wants to tell you how special You are so special, every single day Your whole head-toe, inside-out existence So good, so handsome, so dearest darling, Please don't doubt me when I tell you how cute your nose is Or how I love the way dim light gives the crevices of your skin every little definition The way your whole body lifts when you're laughing Or how much you really do need to go out for modeling, How much your lovely mind seeps through your presence and That I still like you when you're not being the nicest When you've had a long day and you just need to breathe I'm okay with that because I'll listen I'll hear every word you have to say because I can't ever seem to get enough of what you have to say Because I swear, with everything you do There's nothing I don't care for, not one single thing I like you so well, I like you so much, And I'm overwhelmed, simply not reticent, I've embraced the fact that dreams Do appear sometimes in this existence.
