Love Me Back

by Erika   Feb 21, 2007


I really just want to be with you right now.
I want to hold you so close to me
That you can feel my heart beat against your palms.
I want to find you somewhere deep down in my heart
And pull out of it all that I know to be true.
I want to make sense of all of this nonsense.
I want to be your only lingering thought
At the end of the day.
When you pass by the bed of flowers,
I hope that all you can think of is me.
And when you look into your baby niece's eyes,
And when the sunsets are purple
And soothing shades of pinks and blues.
When you hear a child's laughter
I hope that all you can think of is me.
I want you to love me so much that it is
Literally,
But very slowly
Sucking the life out of me. I know that
It sound so utterly crazy to love somebody
So much that the though of loosing them
Is less appealing then loosing your life,
But if it could happen to Juliet
Who was monumental in the storybook of love,
Then why can't it happen to me?
Don't tell me that I am too young to love,
Because you know as well as I do that I am not.
I love as much as I can and it feels like the world to me.
When you are not around I want to travel away
Just to find you.
And when I sleep at night,
What little sleep it may be
I only long to see your face.
I'm not sure that I ever told you
That you mean more than the world to me.
I probably never told you
Because it sounds so silly and juvenile.
For you to mean the world to me
Would mean that you are worth my pride
And my family along with all of my friends
And all of my stature. But I guess it is not
All that big of a deal to say when I have
Already surrendered my pride and my
Reputation and my sleep and every one of
My waking hours to you. I think that in this
Day and age of terror and misfortune
That there is still somewhere
That capacity to love another person and
To be loved back in the same intensity.
I do believe that it is out there
Somewhere
And that true love is for everybody.
But I also believe that it only comes along once
And if you're lucky,
Twice, so I know that it is sad to say,
But I hope that you were not meant to be my
One true love, because I would want my one
True love
To love me back.
