Description nervous breaths exhaled
wild with anticipation
if you kiss me, i just might perish
but if i perish, i would die happy.

watching you with eager eyes
gaze upon you with hungry thoughts.
all it would take is
the world stopping
   for
      just
         a
           few
              seconds

and i might summon the courage
and i might take the plunge
and i might burn brighter than the sun
lest i atrophy without your touch

if you only knew

staring at you in my mind's eye
how many times have we embraced?
how many times have i savored
the taste, the feel, my senses overwhelmed.

if you only knew

that in this moment,
at this very minute,
i want nothing more than to
part my lips
    and speak the words
      and damn the consequences

i want nothing more
than to study you with my fingertips
and memorize your scent
and pray for you to reciprocate
       and never, ever stop.
