"I"

I’ve got a novel expression erupting from my two headlights

Knocking around in the dark for this glimmering jewel

I caught a glimpse, then it vanished

I tasted in full, on my tongue, all the sweetness and all the affections that soothe as they can shock me

Can soothe as they can shock me still

Perfectly still

Yes, you heard me right

Miss fidgety suddenly stayed asleep all night

Believe me, I’m usually tossing and turning

At one with the yearning for more than what’s in my face

This one thing I can say

Missing you did not begin today

I’ve got a full set of fingerprints wrapping around my insides

One indication that i’ve already been claimed

And while I can’t place my hands on your face or my world on your shoulders, I’m addicted to blistering, smoldering heat within my heartache

This unexpected heartache

Yes, you heard me right

Miss fidgety suddenly stayed asleep all night

Believe me, I’m usually tossing and turning

At one with the yearning for more than what’s in my face

This one thing I can say

Missing you did not begin today

Now, of all times

Can’t fate allow more time

Could we just have more time

Should we just take our time

Meet me where we intersected

Show me where you were affected

Bear in mind, I am defenseless to our interlocking senses

Yes, you heard me right

Miss fidgety suddenly stayed asleep all night

Believe me, I’m usually tossing and turning

At one with the yearning for more than what’s in my face

This one thing I can say

Missing you did not begin today

Did not begin today

No, it’s always been this way
