Arms Crossed

Your eyes light up
Mine reply

Your lips lift in the corner
We both smile

Your hand outstretched
Fingers twitch

arms crossed over my chest
But I've got that itch

These past few weeks
I hold myself together

But when I'm with you
I finally let go

Our heads lock
fingers intertwine

Arms around my body
Tracing my spine

You draw a pattern
On my skin

Head nestled in my neck
Breathe it all in

These past few hours
Ive held myself together

I have felt something new
Its all getting better

Arms crossed around my heart
I think I'm letting go

I think its time to open up
I am letting go.
