This seems unfinished, I may revisit it at some point (01/15/2011 1:10am)

But I do

How do you make me
Crave you, constantly?
Like an itch I can't scratch.
A flavour I can't recreate.
I no longer just crave just
Your sex, your kiss, your grope.
I long for your warmth
Your laughter, your teasing.
I kept telling myself yesterday
That you were pretending
I was her, as you held me tight
While we fell asleep in what was
The best cuddle of my life;
In the hopes that I don't
Continue to fall for you
But the truth is that I am.
But this love has patience
A patience I have never known
Though mixed in with this fear
That you're going to find
Someone more 'your type'
And I'm going to have to watch
You hurt someone all over again.

There is always a fear of losing someone you love so much. That comes across in your last couple of lines. But in love all you can ever do is follow your heart and hope it's shared. We love and lose many times but if your heart tells you he's you're special love.....just hold on without fear. There is a beauty and a peace when we give in completely to love. If it ends sadly there is still a peace of knowing you gave from the heart. If a man does not realize, he will one day hurt deeply reflecting on what he lost.

CONVICTION !I like the tone of this work very much, young lady...Good on you! Absolute Love has no boundries, or line drawn in the sand in it's maturation process...However, it must be mutual...and "ONE" cannot make absolute love happen for "TWO"! I hope yours is a 2-way street. Stellar Penning, indeed ! FjR
