A Little Longer
A Little Longer
As you give me a kiss, and I call you back for one more, I wish you
could
stay for just a little longer. When we say goodbye, it hurts inside. I
crouch
down on my knees and watch you pull away. I give a wave, and blow a
kiss. I
think about when I can see you next. The minutes seem like hours. I run
up to
my room, and see the spot where you just had laid. A formation of your
body,
stenciled perfectly on my blanket. I smell my pillow, were your head
laid
softly. It smells like you, and a sense of security, and warmth
overcomes me.
I try to take in every breath I can. I think maybe if I can hold onto
this
feeling, this smell for just a little longer, maybe the minutes won't go
by
as slowly. Maybe I can feel myself in your arms once more, or your lips
against mine, for just a little longer…..
