Dream this, want this, need this, wish for this.
See you, want you, beg you, breathe you.
Try this, try that, tell myself it would all be different,
how I wouldn’t do that, if only I could have this.
Watch you, feel you, stalk you, steal you.
If only you knew
the thoughts I think of you. How you affect me, how your inspiring.
Meet me, know me, need me, love me.
I give you this, and show you that. I live through this, the thought of you.
Dream us, want us, need us, lust us.
See us, touch us, breathe us.
I’m making you up just to have someone,
and for me, that this, is you.
