Feeling You Close

The one I want the most

I want to feel you close

the one I want the most

and snuggle up

by your side

nothing between us

but your skin

and mine

and wait for the monsters to hide

If I close my eyes

long enough, I’ll drift away

I want to know it will be ok

I know you will always stay

This calm I feel with you

I remind myself on another day

it will be ok

I am strong

I have been all along

sometimes I get so scared

that little girl cries

fear in her eyes

I need you

to tell me it’s ok

and we will melt

together

forever

in a sweatshirt big enough for two

It’s always been me and you.
