when youre close

March 30, 2016

I like it when youre close

when i can feel the heat

coming from your heart

when we're barely touching

just enough

to make sure youre real

I like it when you touch me

a simple pat on the shoulder

or touching my hand

to show how cold yours is

or when you lay your head

on my shoulder

because you dont know

how else to comfort us

I like it when you smile

because of something stupid

i did to make you laugh

or because i fell over

-i seem to do that a lot

when im around you-

I like your eyes

theyre not one colour

theyre green

blue

gold

hazel

like a galaxy

hidden away

for safekeeping

I like it when youre close

I like it when you care
