Budding affections

You walk to me so easily
my stomach and tongue are a mess of knots.
I had something witty to say
but now that I've seen you, I forgot.

Wish you were here.

To say it simply,

I miss you.

the words don't come out right

but the thoughts do.

I long for the warmth

of your body next to mine.

of your voice, soft in my ear.

of your presence, so comforting.

I can't help but want you near.

My usual lines of elegance

fall apart

when coupled this dull aching

somewhere near my heart.
