Love Poem: I Love You

I Love You

I was drunk,
In six inch heels and a dress,
With pockets for my keys,
And cigarettes.

My eyes were fixed,
Watching you across the room,
There was one thing on my mind,
But I was not brave enough to say it.

It only took a small step of courage,
A few more sips from the bottle,
Before I set it on the table,
And took a step towards you.

The music was loud
And the lights blinded me
I lost you for a moment
In the chaos

Suddenly, you were right next to me
I lost my courage as fast as I had gained it
I never told you what I wanted to
I just asked,
Do you have a lighter?
