Almost
Almost
Sometimes I almost believe you.
Sometimes I like to think that
I am the only one who knows your dreams,
The only one you buy flowers for,
The only one to deserve your kiss-
Like I earned it,
I earned you,
I own you!
Like I am the only one who fires your senses
-untethering you from you
tethering you to me.
Like I am the only one you want to see today,
Your one and only sweetheart.
I almost feel
Unthreatened in my territory
That is you-
Your body, your heart, your soul.
Sometimes I like to imagine
The shadows of your eyelashes
When you close your eyes,
Are in my name.
The strength of your arms,
The passion of your palms
Are only for me to enjoy.
And that smile-
Like melting ice cream
On a hot summer date
Is only for me to taste.
I believe you
When you say,
That I am the most beautiful girl
( I almost feel pretty)
And that I rule your world
When in fact,
You rule mine.
Sometimes I almost believe you,
When you say that
You love me.
