If I could I would tear off my skin and give the shell to you as a gift, so you can hold on to me even when I'm not there. If I could I would watch over you all through the night saving you from bad dreams, then fall asleep next to you by morning. I would brush the hair away from your face and finally realize just how lucky I was moreover, I would close my eyes a try to sleep before the tears came. And the next morning, when we wake up, I'd tell you everything you'd want to hear, but make sure every word of it was true. I'll kiss your eyes, I'll kiss your cheek, kiss your lips. I'll wrap my arms around you and never let go. And when night comes again we'll go sit out on the hill and watch the stars as they (like life) pass us by (we were infinite) and to them we look like far off glimmers, and you, my dear, shine the brightest of all. I hope I can carve out my own little niche and always stay inside your precious heart. You're already in mine, without you I'm like a fish who made its way onto dry land: gasping, suffocating, clinging onto life. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I love you and these words and lines I write down can't ever begin to describe how I feel.
Some nights I honestly contemplate not sleeping for fear of not dreaming of you. Some nights I fear waking up 'cause I finally get to spend time with you, picnic at a park with vibrant colors & an even brighter smile. Soon the sun will rip me from you, drag me away kicking & screaming as it sifts through the blinds on my window. Soft light, new day bleeding through the window as I fight just to stay asleep 'cause there's a place inside my mattress that harvests a dream of you.
Of all the beautiful things I could say; nothing will come out, so I'll just sit next to you and bite my nails, keep my eyes closed tight and wait for this moment to pass. Or sit closer and break this awkward silence with a simple kiss "just follow me to my bed so we can dream together" I'll finally choke out.
