My love,
My heart is racing,
I feel like I must prepare myself because
ready, set, go and I can't catch up to you again.
My anxiety grips hold on me like a long lost friend.
It has caught hold of my wrist and is now twisting me into its hollow arms.
Dread fills me up like a ditch during rain season.
Each attempted crawl up only seems to sink me deeper until
all that is left of me are scratch marks on the walls and gargled breathing.
My love,
Slow dance with me.
Hold me close until I hear the beating of your heart in your chest
Hold me close until your hand leaves an imprint on my waist
Breathe with me while we dance to nothing or your favorite song
Twirl me around and pull me back into you
Let me breathe in your perfume and revel in the joy of your laughter
Tell me you love me
Run your fingers through my hair and stroke my cheek
Tell me you love me
Interlace your fingers with mine and kiss me
Tell me you love me
Take me into your arms and lay down with me
Tell me you love me
Wrap your arms around me and calm my pounding heart
Whisper to me you love me
Show me you love me
