Head First

by silvershoes

I liked it better when
you didn't exist and I could
focus.

I liked it better when you
were on paper -
your lips remained
unkissed.

Now,
when you're gone,
I need you back.

You're in my mind when you're
two
or two thousand miles
out of reach.

You're in my thoughts when
you stare into my eyes,
or
you're at my front door,
waiting -
I think about you then.

If I let you in, I know
you're ready and
hoping I'll give you
everything.

Your feelings
are not what frighten me.

The fear preventing me from
letting us run amok; from
loving deeply,
simply... is this:

Someday,
what am I going to do without you?
