if only close to you
but i try to be closer
to the one closest to you
then to get at you
and you have
the better half
and i can’t be
your significant other
floating on a
space where i
sweetly laid my
thoughts of you
secretly and
willingly drowning
myself and wishing
that i am the other half

Love the longing and the sad irony. Life is full of they isn’t it. Wishing you well 🙂
That’s the most honest statement of how it feels to be a young male wanting a woman that I have ever heard.
Thanks for reading my poetry.
