I WOULD KISS YOU

I would kiss you

if I knew you could walk away,

if my lips were just a moment,

if my touch could be forgotten like a whisper in the wind.

I would kiss you

if my poison would not linger,

if the taste of me would not haunt your tongue,

if the echo of my breath would not turn to longing.

I would kiss you

if you swore it meant nothing,

if your heart was as hollow as mine,

if we were merely shadows passing through the night.

I would kiss you

if fate decided for us,

if a spinning bottle bound our lips,

if the stars aligned only for a fleeting thrill.

I would kiss you

if your eyes did not soften,

if there were no flames between us,

if we had everything to lose 

I would kiss you

just for the rush,

just for the dare,

just because I can.

But I can't.

If I kissed you,

you would dream where dreams don't belong,

you would build castles on breaking waves,

you would find meaning where there is none.

I would kiss you

just because we can.

But we can't.

When a Heart Finds Its Home

Didn't you say no one would ever understand you,

if it wasn't me?

Didn't you say you were only lost in me,

and if it wasn’t me, it would be nobody else?

I remember that night,

the song Anyone by Justin,

how I sent it to you,

thinking of you, thinking of us.

And you said—

"No, this song is for you,

because if it’s not you, it’s no one."

Funny how time moves like a tide,

carrying promises to distant shores.

Now here we are,

me, listening to you talk

about the troubles you’re having

with the love of your life.

And I can’t help but smile.

Life is quick like that, isn’t it?

You—once so guarded,

once so sure no one else would do,

now speaking of her with a softness

I never heard before.

Your heart found its home.

And when a heart finds its home,

it becomes tender.

It opens like a bloom in spring,

ready to understand,

ready to fight,

ready to stay.

She makes you want to be better.

She makes you want to try.

And here I am,

listening, watching,

witnessing the truth—

that love, real love,

always finds its way.

And I am happy for you 😊😊

Let’s Focus

 

Let’s focus

What do you call an in-between?

A space where hands reach but never hold,

Where hearts beat loud but never speak.

A place that can’t claim,

Can’t own,

Can’t feel jealous,

Can’t rely.

Let’s focus

What do you call this?

Where we push and pull,

Only to pull away.

Where our intentions hide deeper

Than the feelings we pretend to bury.

What do you call this

Where we drink to drown doubt,

Only to drown in each other.

Where blurred lines feel clearer

Under neon lights and heavy breath.

Let’s focus

What do you feel

When I slip away into other arms,

While you laugh in the presence of another?

Be honest

When you give yourself away,

Do you wonder if I flinch?

If my heart tightens,

If my mind whispers your name in jealousy’s voice?

Let’s focus

What do we call a passion with no direction?

A fire that burns but doesn’t warm?

What do you feel for me?

Do you even know?

Can we even focus,

If we have no focus point?

BE MEMORABLE

Make me long for you until I lose my mind,

Until your absence leaves a hollow I can't define.

Let your touch carve a memory deep inside,

One that pulses in me, impossible to hide.

I want your every move to haunt my days,

A lingering presence, in the quietest ways.

Let your kiss be a fire I can’t extinguish,

One that keeps burning, that leaves me finished.

Make me crave you in the spaces between,

In the moments I’m alone, in places unseen.

Let your scent linger, a reminder so sweet,

That every time I breathe, I feel your heat.

Leave me with nothing but thoughts of you,

An obsession that grows, a hunger that’s new.

Let your name echo in my quiet mind,

Until nothing else exists, nothing else I can find.

Make me replay your touch, your breath, your taste,

Until all I want is to feel you, to be chased.

Let every inch of me ache for you still,

As I long for your presence, against my will.

I want to obsess, to want you more,

To crave you deeply, at the very core.

Make me remember you, make me need,

Until I ache for your return, your touch, your seed.

Let me yearn for the next time you’re near,

So I can feel you close, let go of my fear.

Make me want you in ways that won’t fade,

Until you’re the only thought I’ve ever made.
