A Little Longer As you give me a kiss, and I call you back for one more, I wish you could stay for just a little longer. When we say goodbye, it hurts inside. I crouch down on my knees and watch you pull away. I give a wave, and blow a kiss. I think about when I can see you next. The minutes seem like hours. I run up to my room, and see the spot where you just had laid. A formation of your body, stenciled perfectly on my blanket. I smell my pillow, were your head laid softly. It smells like you, and a sense of security, and warmth overcomes me. I try to take in every breath I can. I think maybe if I can hold onto this feeling, this smell for just a little longer, maybe the minutes won’t go by as slowly. Maybe I can feel myself in your arms once more, or your lips against mine, for just a little longer…..

This poem is about my boyfriend. The first person I have ever loved. He means so much to me, and I try to let him know that in every single way.
