Just a light little poem about teen romance.


I want our eyes to slowly meet,
I want a soft embarassed smile,
I want to learn your name while my palms sweat,
I want you to stutter and fumble over words,
I want you to slowly get your bearings,
I want your hand to gently brush mine,
I want you to make me laugh in the rain,
I want to tremble either from your touch or the cold,
I want you to move your face closer to mine,
I want a little hesitation before our lips meet,
I want to take control of the situation,
I want to kiss you until we have to stop for air,
I want to be afraid of saying "I love you" even though I feel it,
I want to fight for all the wrong and right reasons,
I want you to break my heart.
