Do you?

Do you ever feel your chest about to burst

Just out of sheer affection

For that person in front of you

Oblivious

Do you ever want to shout out

This person’s mine

This person chose me

Regardless

Do you ever stop your hand

From just touching to assure yourself

That person’s there

Staying

Do you ever hear your heart groan

Aching for more

Hungry for something

Unfathomable

Do you ever gnash your teeth

Wanting to be more than you can be

Better, prettier, sweeter

Desperately

Do you ever feel regret

That you weren’t always there

To understand the history behind the person

You now see

Do you ever feel your eyes fog up

Just at the thought of losing someone

Who means more than life

To you

Do you ever wonder how long

A lifetime you still have

To spend, to relish

Together

Do you?

Because sometimes,

Often,

Okay, once in a while,

I do

And if you didn’t

It would be just so sad

For me

And you
