If I wasn’t cold and silent

I wonder if you would’ve liked me

If I spoke more and smiled

And expressed the pure joy that seized me

When I saw you

Would you have liked me?

If I told you that I wanted to speak to you

Hear your voice

Hold you

Be with you

Would you have liked me?

But now that I smile a lot

Laugh a lot

Talk a lot

Do you like me?

If I had met you as the version of myself now

Would you have fallen for me?

Would your heart race for me?

Would you wish to be with me?

Wish to hear my voice

Exchange words with me

See me

Even for just a moment

And cling onto that brief interaction?

Would you make an effort to love me?

I want to

Feel my self-control slipping away,

Myself falling and falling

And sighing

Into you

I want to

Hear my heartbeat against yours

Beating uncontrollably

And loudly

For you

I want to

See myself sinking into your eyes

You in my every corner

And seeking

For you

I want to

Breathe in your scent

My mind lost in that forest of flowers

And inhaling

Every inch of you

I want to feel myself drowning

Hear myself wanting

See myself losing

And smell myself dyed in your scent

Drowning

Into you

I want every part of me to be yours

And every part of you to be mine

Is that okay?

I want to seek you and find you

And hold you and never let you go

Is that okay?

I want to drown into your very being

Submerged in your very existence

And hold your hand and whisper,

“If I’m scattered amongst a field of flowers,

will you find me?”

“If I’m lost in a vast dark blue ocean,

will you dive for me?”

“If I want to see you, hold you, be with you,

will you let me?”

Because I will

For you
