entering into obsession

i'm remembering the way your nose crinkles when you laugh
the tracing lines of your face
holding me exactly right
without having to be told
knowing what i needed
i felt so safe with you
you were never a stranger
i was so careful
you heard my tongue stumble
not to say the wword "love"
that would seem so vulnerable
so juvenile
but i think
that's what it is
love
and i want you to know that
and i don't want you to know that
i want to have you
without chasing you away
i need you
i wish i didn't
please don't leave me
holding my own elbows in the dark
