I long for you in the shadows

dream of you at night

Wonder what you’re thinking

and if your day is alright

I long to snuggle up with you

and keep you warm at night

Long to be your coffee cups

that kiss your lips just right

Or replace that shiny silverware

grazing gently against your teeth

I long to feel your tender touch

have you sweep me off my feet

I want to moan your name with passion

explore your body untamed

I want to support you

admire you

Love you

until the end of days

Yet every day I sit

paralyzed with fear

Wondering if you’d notice

or if you’d even care,

Just let me be the arms

that keep you warm at night

The voice

that makes your smile shine bright

The inspiration

that carries your dreams to light

The heart

that shelters your heart just right

Would you take a chance on me

so I can simply share

How much I really long for you

and want you near, my dear?
