Things I'd like to tell you

Things I'd like to tell you

I'm sorry sometimes I'm quiet 

Every time I bump your shoulder 

it's because secretly I want 

To feel your warm touch

I don't even know what a good kiss is 

But kissing you makes my heart 

want to explode

I could hug you forever

Or we could walk in the rain for eternity 

I couldn't care less 

As long as your fingers 

are Intwined with mine

Your hands are the feeling of flower petals

and your perfume is the smell of rain and wet grass

Your hair is the softest thing on earth

And I get lost in your crushing blue eyes

Your eyelashes are long enough 

to start a tornado from a single blink

But you don't wear make up

When I think about you

My heart beats a mile a minute

And I feel like it's about to explode

Thoughts of you keep me up at night

And wake me up in the morning

Because I have to send you a "good night" text 

And i won't wake up with out your "good morning"

When I say thank you out of the blue

It doesn't mean you've done anything particularly special

It means I'm glad you choosing me

Because I can't imagine no having you

You claim you've never seen me sad

But some days you were the only thing keeping me together

Apparently I'm much better 

at hiding my pain than I thought 

Those two fantas you bought me 

saved me from my own thoughts

And gave me hope in a tomorrow

And you probably don't even know it

You probably didn't even know 

That my dog died

But you were the reason 

I made it through it

Im pretty sure I've lost an eye and a leg with all the people I've dated

(Not an arm because I need both of those for hugging you)

But it was worth it to find you

When you say "I love you more" my heart crumples 

Like a crushed rose

Because you'll never understand how much you mean to me

And I'm no good at saying it

I've written you almost a dozen poems

But I'm too afraid to show you any of them

Because the time isn't right

Or it's way off subject 

Or the poem is way too long to read or send over text anyways

So I'll add this to the list

Of things I'll show you

When you finally ask
