Temporarily Omnipotent

Don't Ask

Don't ask,

But I can't help imagining fanciful words to describe you.

I'd write novels upon novels of just those words,

If eventually, they'd mean something to you.

Don't ask,

But every time I hear your voice, my mind ponders the feeling of your breath on my skin,

I'd direct movies, sing songs, or even write a poem or two based on that sensation alone,

If eventually, you'd want to feel that too.

Don't ask,

But whenever I see pictures of you, I pretend you're seeing them with me.

I'd become a photographer and take pictures of every sunset and sundown

If eventually, you'd spend a couple with me.

Don't ask,

But my heart stops whenever I stare into your eyes.

I'd erase everything else on this Earth,

If eventually, you'd stare back.

Don't ask,

But I care more about you than you ever have me,

I'd change every aspect of myself,

If eventually, you'd love me too.
