To the woman I can’t have but still want

You are beautiful, love.

Not just your face, not just the way you looked that day, but the quiet parts of you too. Your gentleness. Your care. The way you carry yourself like you don’t even know how much light you give off.

Our situation is not perfect. Maybe that’s what makes it ache so much. I can feel something between us, but I can also feel the wall we cannot cross.

I finally found the courage to tell you one small thing I had been holding in, and your reaction stayed with me. It told me that maybe I’m not the only one who feels the softness here.

I don’t want to be selfish. I just wish I could love you in a world where it didn’t hurt anybody.
For now, maybe I’m only meant to remind you that you are seen. That you are beautiful. That someone notices the little things.

And maybe you’re meant to remind me that my heart can still be brave, even when it has to be quiet.

Your Touch Is My Medicine

What would I do without your touch?

I literally need it and crave it more than you know. Your touch is my medicine. It’s mesmerizing to feel you close to me. I can’t be without it for too long, or I start having withdrawals from you.

What did you do to me?

I was perfectly fine before I felt your touch for the first time. Now I’m attached to you in a way I never expected. I’ve never been the touchy-feely type, but something about you makes me want to be. I’ve never been an expressive person either, but I could write about you for hours.
My feelings for you are so deep.

You make me want to grow as a person. I noticed that you seem to like when I wear clean, casual fits instead of the graphic tees I used to wear, so I invested in more sharper clothes. For you, I changed, not because you forced me to, but because something about you makes me want to become greater than I am.

You bring out my protective, masculine energy. Your softness makes me want to protect you.

I can’t wait until the day we both stop pretending we mean nothing to each other.

I dream of you

To you,

Every time I leave, I count down the days until I can see you again. I would do anything just to see your smile. Every night, I dream of you. Sometimes, dreaming of you is the only thing that helps me fall asleep. I dream about touching you, kissing you, running my fingers through your hair, tasting you, and simply admiring you.

I crave to hear your voice. It’s my favorite sound — soft and sweet. I don’t want ordinary love; I want passionate love with you and only you. If we were together, you wouldn’t have to ask to kiss me. You could just do it, because I crave you so much.
You deserve to feel how much I love you, but I’m afraid to tell you. Whatever your heart desires, I want to give it to you. You feel like home to me, and when I’m not around, I feel homesick.
Please don’t ever doubt my love for you.

The only one in the room

The only one in the room

I wonder what runs through your mind when you see me. I can tell you exactly what runs through mine — everything else just stops, and you’re the only thing left in the room.

A million people could be standing there and I still wouldn’t notice a single one of them, just you. My skin warms, tingles, gives me away before I even open my mouth. My heart picks up speed, and I know it shows — you must see it in my eyes, the way I feel something I can’t quite hide.

Everything about you pulls me in. The way you smile softens me. Your hair catches the light like it knows what it’s doing. And your soul — that’s the part I can’t stop thinking about. You mean more to me than I know how to say, and I wish we talked every single day. I want to know what you think, what you believe, what makes you tilt your head when you’re considering something.

I’d spend the whole day just existing near you if you let me. Phone down, world quiet, just you. I’d rub your feet while we watched something forgettable after a long day — not romantic, just ours. I’d be devoted in so many ways, the kind that don’t photograph well but mean everything.

There’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t hand you. With me, the world opens up, and you’d be the center of mine. I’m already counting down to the next time I see you. And somehow, every time, my nerves act like it’s the first time all over again. I adore you. I want to take care of you in every way I’m capable of.

No one compares to you

I've falling in love with you. I don't want to stop falling for you. I feel this is more than a crush. You get under my skin like you're my part of my soul. You just don't know how much you have me wrapped around your finger. I wish we could be together. You haven't told me how you feel but your body tells me. One day I hope you pull me aside and tell me that you want me too.

You're amazing and you deserve everything you want. I want to be the one who makes you feel beautiful everyday you wake up. I know you feel beautiful around me by how you play with your hair or when you start to blush. I'll give you my love whenever you need and want. You don't compare to anyone else. They don't make me feel the way you do love. I might not show it because I am a calm person but inside I'm going crazy over your love. We desire each other so much but we both know the complication that's stopping it. You deserve to be happy and desired. I don't want you feeling unfulfilled or lonely. That's why I will never give up on you. I love you selflessly.

The world is yours if you want it ❤️

Can I be yours

I’m your sweet escape. I know I make you feel seen in ways no one else does. I wish I could hold you from behind, wrap my arms around your waist, pull you close, and let you feel how bad I want you. The chemistry between us is undeniable. Everyone in the room can see it, the way you get flustered, the way you blush when they tease you, the way you walk slow so I can watch you. But we don’t say anything. We just feel it. I have what you need to make you feel warm. I want to be your fantasy. I’ll be whatever you want me to be, as long as I’m with you. The way you make me feel when I’m around you is pure joy. But the second I leave you, I start missing you. I count down the days until I see you again. We can’t stay away from each other without feeling the absence. I can always tell when you miss me by the way you light up when you see me. You have everything I need and want. You like the way I look at you because it makes you feel wanted. Trust me, I WANT YOU AND ONLY YOU. There’s no space in my heart for anyone else. I want to kiss you deep, whisper in your ear that you’re the only one I’m loving on. I want you to use me for all your desires. For the past year, everyone has watched us fall for each other in silence. The tension is getting harder to contain.

Can I be your Mr. Man?

My tears for you

If you’re wondering if I’m struggling to move on, the answer is yes. Although I know you belong to someone else, I still feel something deep for you. Idk how to recover from you because you’re so gentle. Gentleness is something I never experienced with anyone. Sometimes I can’t decide if I should stay or let go. But the thought of letting go brings tears to my eyes.

A year ago

A year ago today, I fell for her hard. I didn’t plan on it; it just happened. I remember the first thing she ever said to me. I remember how flustered she looked when I sat next to her for the first time. My feelings are so pure for her. If I can be honest, I thought god was finally answering my prayers when I found her. She’s everything I crave in a woman. She’s nurturing, soft, caring, and so feminine. I love how feminine she is; she brings out my masculine energy way more than anyone else. I just wish we met under different circumstances so we can get what we both want…

She doesn’t know

I love the way she makes me feel. It’s such a rare feeling that she gives me. I wish could be with her. I wish I could make her smile everyday because her smile is so beautiful. I wish I could wake up next to her, watch her sleep and rub my fingers through her beautiful hair. She’s so precious. If I ever get the chance to be with her I would never take it for granted. She does things to my heart that no one has ever been able to do. I learned how deep I can actually love someone through her. I learned so much patience through her. I would literally do anything for her. She’s so special to me I wish I could tell her that but I’m afraid I would lose her if I did.

Her forbidden love

Hey… I’ve been thinking about you a lot lately. I really enjoy the time we spend together and the way you make me feel. I know things are complicated for you, and I’m not trying to make your life harder.

I just want you to know that I’m willing to exist in the quiet spaces with you for now, because being close to you already feels addictive. I like when you tease me. It only makes me want you more. I want to give you everything you’ve been missing, everything you secretly ache for.

I know you’ve built a whole life already, and I’m not trying to destroy that. But I can’t deny how badly I want you… or how natural this feels between us.

The hardest thing I’ve ever had to do is force myself to move on when I’m still in love with you. I literally have no choice but to move on, but it hurts. You have a beautiful soul that makes me want you so deeply. I will always cherish the moments we had and always have you in my heart. I pray for god to send me someone like you, but I don’t want another; I want you … I know I deserve to be with someone who is free, but my heart won’t let go of you. I tried so many times to just say forget it and move on. Every time I try, you pull me in deeper. Maybe it’s the forbidden love that makes me want it more. I fell for you so hard that I can’t even get up now. I’m on the ground still wanting your love, wanting to feel you, and wanting to give you all of my love. I know it’s wrong to want you. My whole 28 years of life, I’ve never met anyone as special as you. 

I hope that some of you give me grace for loving her. This is the only place I’m able to express my emotions and release them.
