Cravings

If my heart ever has trouble dancing on beat 
Just put your lips on mine 
When the poem won't write itself
Gently hold my hand
Because when your lips interlock 
With my emotions 
Holding the world feels as if I'm holding you
I’d be lying if I said my forevers 
Didn’t send you an invitation
In every possibility
You make my imagination
A calm reality
Dreams become passing thoughts
Breathing obsolete
My soul defies gravity
I didn’t fall, I reached for you
Knowing together we're that much closer to heaven
With your love under my wings
Your safety in my arms 
This life has no interrupting alarms
Carry this one request 
Allow me to crave you
Not to be too forward
But I've been waiting for you
Since I thought I understood sacrifice
Then I began fasting to grasp what I didn't first comprehend 
I been fasting 
To experience love at its purest form
I’ve been talking to patience 
To get familiar with your voice
A voice that makes the echo home 
A voice that rocks me to sleep 
A voice I long to see
p.s. I just want to be in your presence…
