Love Poem: Can'T

Can'T

Holding on these years, my feelings won’t let go
Your uncertainty eyes, please let go
Countless of the ways I want you
Can’t you see them under my skin?

Stay tonight, that’s all we have
Your kiss that hurts, I’ll never show
To make this real, more words shall tell
Can’t you see I’ve long been yours?

No one else will do, nor ever compare
The apple of my eye, your gaze still haunts
Saying my name, complete intoxication
Can’t you stand still with me?

Try hard to forget this Virgo of mine
But I need you so, can’t do without
If it isn’t you, another love just won’t do
Can’t you comprehend I feel for you?

Words left unspoken, so much to say
I let them burn, joined with my confessions
Every time we say goodbye, more months go by
Can’t you feel a third time is right?
