CRUSH

 On a warm summer day, you were my gentle breeze 

I daydream of you, and I am not ashamed.

your kiss hugs my words,

an embrace they've yearned to behold.

I think about you a lot, I must confess,

and my heart would break,

if I had to think about you less.

I smile when I smell you in my sheets,

your scent devours my garments,

and fills my home with the memories of us.

I can still feel your touch when I close my eyes,

fantasizing about the day you could be mine.

I am demonstrably smitten,

as you were a pleasant surprise. 

My weekend on a Wednesday,

my reprieve on a bad day.

you started as a palate cleanser,

and I'd like you as a staple.

like the tea I have with every meal,

I'd like to experience everything with you.

The red dress dates,

and the underwear junk food nights.

I want to kiss you in the rain,

coiled around you in the cold,

my cold hands in your warm jacket,

locked in an embrace so tight .

I want to take you antique shopping on Saturdays

and do gardening on Sundays.

Come home to you after girl's night,

and leave with you to new adventures.

You have the potential of ruining my life,

but I'd like to live in my own destruction.

If I could have you be my undoing,

like a loose string on a sweater,

you can thread me all you want.

Drawing me in with your subtle kisses,

and I feel you smiling as our lips touch.

I hope you are the loving kind,

because I crave to be loved by you.

We fell in love for the night,

and I'm hoping it lasts forever. 

I have only known you for a week,

but you make it feel like a lifetime.

So here's to you,

hoping that you'd want to be alone together.
