the 2nd poem
I need you like the air I breathe
Like the clothes I wear or the nutrients on which I feed
Your thoughts keep me awake for days but mostly nights
From the dark dusk to the morning that’s bright
Thinking about you gets me high
But no matter how hard I try
I can’t describe my feelings in words like this
Of how much my heart tends to miss
A moment close to you or a memory at least
That would’ve awoken my hidden beast
Acknowledge this love for I love no one but you
And deep in your heart you know that it’s true
Despite the distance and borders holding us apart
I promise you’ll be the only one in my heart
