chase this light

i wanted so bad for you to take my breath away.

a few months ago, i knew i would feel this way. months and days later, and i had no idea you still had this effect on me. i know it seems easy for me to say these words, and i toss around that phrase lightly sometimes, but there are few to whom i actually mean it. and with you, i do.

i know where your heart stands in line with that. but i have no idea where it stands in reference to me. i think that's what makes it all the more while. i want your attention, and i want it badly. with you, words come easy. glances can be held. you make me comfortable and so uncomfortable all in the same sentence. and you have no idea.

there's so much i want to say to you, but none of it appropriate for the occasion. i'll hold my tongue months longer. anything less would be unexpected and out of line.

i wish so bad you would just take my hand. i would know, i would know.
