Next To Me

 

As I lie in my bed, I replay all the words you’ve said

 

I feel I’m content, but that yearning creeps up on me at times,

This is one of them,

 

The way you smiled I can’t erase,
Those gleaming eyes could keep me locked away,

Forever with you,
 

The tattoos that snake your arms have me amazed,

I can only view me tracing my fingertips across them, As we lay down together,

There’s no use in playing games,

That’s what little children do,

I like to say we’ve graduated from that,

But with you, There’s some things I can’t do,

I know that hinders what I see coming in our future,

But I just can’t seem to catch my breath,

It’s the things that you do that got me,

That got me shook,

If it’s the last thing I’ll do, I will,

These tingles won’t disappear unless I act on them,

The outcome may not be what I want it to be,

But I have to know,

I can’t knock it till I try it…

As I lie in my bed, I replay all the words you’ve said…
