Love

My head is full
Of you.
Your voice is leaking out of my ears.
Your name colors every word from my tongue.
The smell of you lingers near my nose.
I can't stop seeing your face
Behind my eyelids
Each
Time
I
Blink.

My fingers itch to be in yours.
To keep them still I've written you a letter.
And I wrote it again.
And again.
On post-it notes.
On notebook paper.
On my heart.

I fear you
And the happiness you bring.
No single being should hold such power.
Because a word from you-
A retreating back,
A wave goodbye,
Could strike me down where I stand.
