You.
I'm amazed at my own strength sometimes. The way my mindset always seems to flutter back to you, and while on the inside I'm in such a panic, a fluttered frenzy, on the outside I remain completely calm. No one knows the weight on my chest whenever I whisper your name when no one can hear me. The strength of my legs carries me forward, even though I want to fall back in the depths of my thoughts, and just get lost in you altogether.
You've forever scarred my thoughts, the images I see when I close my eyes, and how I take the last knowledgeable breaths before I fall asleep at night. And as much as I sound like I'm complaining, that isn't the case at all. I feel lost when I'm not searching for something that reminds me of your voice, or the way your lips curl just the slightest in a smile at the corner of your mouth when you talk to me.
Sometimes I think you underestimate the impression you've left on me, and think you're taking things too seriously. Or that you're really trying to hide that handsome smile of yours, knowing that I can see it, despite the fact that it warms me to see it. I catch myself occasionally, looking for you in a crowd of people, before realizing that you're not here. It gives me a jolt of sadness, but as soon as I blink, I'm thinking about what it would be like to caress your hand, and squeeze my fingers around the back of your hand. To swing my arms with you like playful couples do as they walk down the street, completely oblivious to anything else but each other.
Reality in now and then, and I'm awakened quite rudely. I force myself to stay focused sometimes, because if I let my guard down for a minute, the small reality that has managed to slip in will instantly disappear, and the perfect distraction of you would be in its place once again. I lecture myself, knowing I have other things I should be thinking about, concentrating on, but I drown out the noise of my own voice with the words you say to me.
You're physically far from me, but in my head, that doesn't seem to surface at all. In my head, you're right beside me. I can reach out and stroke your cheek, I can press my lips against your own and feel your smile. I could lock my arms around you and forever hold you against me, locking myself there. You would be my leverage to get over anything that was in my way, the protection against anything harmful, and my guidance whenever I needed it.
I want to call you mine.
