What I want


I want to skip school to cuddle with you

I want to ignore the world and spend forever wrapped in your arms

I want to talk about nothing with you

I want to discuss the most inconsequential things that will never matter

I want to always be touching you, one way or the other, just to remind myself that you still exist

I want to hug you so tightly that you’ll always feel a phantom embrace after I let go

I want to listen to you talk about everything

I want to watch your eyes light up when you start talking about that one thing you love so much

I want to hear you in my head when I can’t hear you outside of it

I want to text you all day

I want to surprise you, the looks of realization turning into joy

I want to comfort you, though I’m not sure how

I want to share my favorite things with you

I want to see you, your face, all the time

I want to learn new things about you- small and large, plot points and anecdotes

I want to be there, for things that are important and for things that aren’t

I want to tell jokes that get you to laugh so much you can’t stand

I want to cry on your shoulder, to sob in your arms

I want to bare my entire soul to you and give you my life

I want to stay alive so that I can see you again

I want to dream about you every night

I want to crawl into your lap and stay there

I want to smile up at you and see you smiling back

I want to never let go of you, protect you from everything

I want to make you feel so so loved because you so so are

I want you
