Ugh.
I want him to touch me
on my arm
with his fingers again and again.
I want that gap of distance to close.
I want his eyes sealed on mine.
I want to know
even though he jokes with everyone in the room
even though he’s more gregarious and louder than me,
that in the end,
I’m still his main focus.
I want to find out what excites him.
And yet at the same time
I don’t understand why
I want this.
Is it because
I just want someone
and he’s the first to come around
(who’s caught my fancy)
or do I really want to know him
because of who he is
not his looks or his smile
or the way he makes my body roast on fire.
