Desperate Love

To love so much it’s almost considered desperation

I know that I love you,

As I yearn for your touch,

When I’ve got it.

I pray for a moment,

When I have many.

I want to be kissed,

When your lips are at mine.

I crave your attention,

While I’ve already got it.

I look for you,

Though I’ve found you.

Scared to lose you,

When I know,

You’re not going anywhere.

I love you,

When you don’t

Love yourself.

I’d chase your train,

When you’re back tomorrow.

Cry at the airport,

When you’re back next week.

Darkness is lost,

In your presence.

The moon shines bright,

On nights with you,

It hides on,

those without.

Rainbows bring colour,

To my greyscale days,

When you’re around.

I miss you when you leave,

Even just for work.

Happy tears when you come home,

When you’re only gone an hour.

Perhaps I am desperate,

But I call it love.

For without you?

I am nothing.

With you…

I’m not just something,

I am someone.

Someone… In love.
