Fear and excitement entwine at the thought you.
A contradictory embrace I cannot shake.
I wonder, how is it that 
you bring me joy and anxiety in equal measure?

Fireworks of butterflies in my stomach,
My heart beats out of rhythm, my head pounding.
I pace and ponder, lost in anticipation's haze,
Awaiting the knock that brings your gentle gaze.

The door creaks open, your scent wafts in,
A soothing storm that calms my anxiety and lifts my spirit.
As you step inside, my mind begins to roam,
To the moment you'll leave, and I'll be left to atone.

But then I recall, you're a gentleman true,
You'll open the door for me, and see me through.
Yet, I cling to the moment, dreading the goodbye,
As your presence claims a space in my heart, where love resides.

A hope for permanent residency, a love so real,
I yearn to wake beside you, to feel your love reveal.
From Monday's dawn to Sunday's night,
Home is where the heart finds its delight.

It breaks my heart that this could not see light of day.
That, we could not last forever.
