Beside You

As I lay here beside you
I stay here beside you.
I find the desire to play here beside you.
I'm comfort beside you.
I'm ruffled beside you.
I feel longing is doubled beside you.
Life is prequeled beside you
Then sequeled beside you
And I am equaled beside you.
I meditate beside you.
I hesitate beside you.
The world, I contemplate beside you.
I am caring beside you.
Even daring beside you
To begin sharing my heart beside you.
I call your name beside you.
I hear your pain beside you.
I feel insane and tame all at once beside you.
I am flooded beside you
Often gutted beside you
To raw unadulterated nothing beside you.
I whisper beside you
And I quiver beside you.
Blissful memories arise and flitter beside you.
I wish this was virginity beside you.
I wish you saw me beside you.
I wish you knew I was true peace beside you.
Look no further than beside you.
Hold no other hand beside you.
Remember you can love demand with me beside you.
