Tell me

Do you feel scared when I say I will leave you one day?

Do those words steal your sleep?

Do you ever wake up in cold sweat, frenzied?

Do you panic when the space beside you is empty?

Do you call my name out loud feverishly

All around the apartment as you pray to Almighty?

Tell me

Do you feel my heartbeat against yours when we lie front to back?

Do you count every one, do you see if they match?

Do you know each mole I have on the back of my neck?

Do you touch them all reverently, each and every fleck?

Do you love me completely, with all the scars and the beauty?

Do you love me because you can't help it, or just because it's your duty?

Tell me

Do you remember all the patterns in my tattoos?

Can you trace them all blindfolded without any help?

Will you know which way to go when I'm lost?

Will you find your way to me and make it all alright again?

Can you imagine a world without me? 

Is it as dark without me as mine is without you?

Does the fear of losing me one day make you love me more?

They say if you love someone, set them free

But I love you, and I will never let you go; it's a guarantee

Will you want to stay, or will you want flee?

Will you be willing to give me your love like I need?

Will you love me too much like I want? Will you please never leave?

Will you spend your existence making mine feel complete?
