everything always circles back to you

i find myself unable to go one sentence

without feeling your name

whisper itself at the back of my throat

and i cannot go to bed

if im not imagining how it would feel

to have your arms wrapped around my waist

as we sway in your kitchen

our kitchen

-

i wish i could function

without having to gulp your name down

like cough syrup

but maybe its okay

to want someone

and need them, too
