If
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?

Drowning
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
