It's only love,
But I like it,
The anticipation
Melting to exhilaration
Every time I see you,
A silent jump of joy
At a smile sent my way,
My stomach in a knot
When I call you,
Anxious for the roughness
Of your voice along the line,
Goosebumps when we touch,
A rush I've never known
Or longed for before,
And when you kiss me,
You press through my anxiety,
With the reassurance of
Your green eyes and wide arms,
And when you hold me
Safe and concealed from
The bitter world, until morning,
I could live a thousand lives
Like this, in your world,
Buoyed up by you,
You are my lingering flame,
Startling and bright,
All I've ever wanted and more.
I know it's not much,
It's only love;
But I like it.
