Not Just a Boy

Why can't i forget him for more that a second?
Because at this point
He is me and i
I don't know how to separate myself
Anymore
And i miss him
Like i miss myself
And if we talk i don't want it to be
Angry.
Hateful
Like a hostage negotiation
I'll give you back your heart 
If you give me back mine.
I want it to be like
Flowers bending toward the sun
Missing each other 
And reaching for light
I want to hug him
I miss his tallness
His lean body
Arms that surround me
And i feel safe
But now i dont 
I'm not safe
Not from myself
And my body
My arms 
They show it.
