Wanting and waiting

It's not love

That died long ago 

And in it's wake

Left only lust

Sinful thoughts like never before 

It's engulfing my life

My mind

I can't think 

The voice in the back of my mind 

Has moved to the front 

I'm drowning in the words

"Let's be friends"

It's all I want 

But I want more 

I crave it

I crave the touch, the thrill

I need relief 

Relief from this pressure 

It builds every time I see her

I need her like I  need oxygen 

To pull her body into mine 

Kiss her soft lips like I need it

A greedy, selfish embrace 

That would satisfy the beast awaking inside me

But she's only my friend

And I can't ask for more

And this is only a poem

Written words left unspoken 

"I want you too"
