Untitled

When I first saw you, I had about a million thoughts
that ran through my head all too fast.
I thought I'd trip over my tongue and make a fool of myself,
but i didn't, you calmed my worries without knowing it.
I was nervous knowing where you were taking me
wondering if I'd do something your family wouldn't like.
But something about you kept me from worrying,
we walked through the doors, I acted myself.
All seemed well, I started to feel at home, i already felt welcome,
but I was still worried I'd do something to cause dislike.

My week with you went by slow, but yet too fast,
when you were away at work, i sat on your bed thinking about you.
Despite your absence, I felt your arms around me,
and it made wonders and thoughts run through my mind.
If you drove me crazy forty-five minutes away,
what would you do to me eight and a half hours away?
I already didn't want to leave you, but I knew I had to,
I dreaded the next day, closer to the last.
Wanting, wishing I could freeze timeand stay forever,
in your arms, under your kisses, wrapped up in you forever.
