I sat watching you,

 not knowing for certain

if you knew how badly

I was hurtin.

My chest felt as if it would explode.

I have been carrying

such a heavy load.

Looking at your handsome face

caused the butterflies in my stomach to race.

Your olive colored skin,

made my head spin.

Your body – yes your beautiful body,

leaves no doubt that

you are a hottie.

More than all of that combined,

I love you

and can’t get you off of my mind.

To be away from you

is going to be the hardest thing

I have ever went through.

It tears my soul apart

and I don’t know what to do.

I make love to you

before it is time to leave,

and when I can finally breathe,

I beg you once more not to go.

I am being childish I know,

not wanting to let you go,

but I want you all to myself.

This type of thinking isn’t good,

and I became aware of it

exactly where I stood.

The tears began to fall,

and I fell back against the wall,

feeling like the world had ended.

My chest was distended

from holding my breath,

for I knew I would

let out a big sob.

If you only knew

how badly I wanted you to stay

and not go back to your job,

I don’t think you would go today.

You looked into my eyes

and let out a big sigh.

You said that you would try.

You called in sick,

and I said, “come here slick.”

We jumped into the bed,

and pulled the covers over our head,

I then said -

“I love you my dear Ted,”

and you looked at me

and said, “I know,

and I’m glad I didn’t go.”
