I want to tell you that I leave your scent on my skin 

that during the night I hold my wrist up

to my mouth to drink deep breaths of you.


I want to tell you that your fire consumes my flesh

that when I am with you the burning makes me feel alive

and I want to give my heart to be engulfed.


I want to tell you that my dreams are filled with your smile

that you are with me even there in my secret places

and I want to close my eyes just to see you.


I want to tell you

I want to tell you

that I am falling in love with you

but I know better.
