Couplet

Don't hold it against me
                         
              that
                              I 
                               want
                                        to 
                                            be
                                               held
                                                     by
                                                        you.

Congratulations on your win! I like how your words mimick the idea - like the first line is a barrier and the bottom half is like you reaching out to him. Great idea :)
