Want

I've become familiar with you. I shouldn't have, but I wanted to.

Your caricature in my mind, runs so deep with a smile so wide,
with lines that were yours. I can't help but be into you.

These four walls to hear me, these four walls to sleep. 
They speak the words I’ve always wanted to.

They say that you can never change the seasons, I kind of guess it’s true.
Please don’t forget me. I won’t forget you. I never wanted to.

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
