Why I Tremble by Ing Twi Demalah

Once you said it was awkward when you speak with me
But such awkwardness was my doing
For how many ever get a second chance
It was not that I didnâ€™t know what to say or how to say it
But that there are so many things I wanted to tell you
So many things I wanted you to know and hear
And yet, at the same time, not wanting to say too much
So I remained uneasy, silent before you
The best first kiss I have ever had
And with it you have stolen my breath away
And it has not returned to me
For it, like my heart, belong now only to you
Still, to this day I find myself breathless
As though I was as one drowning, yet unafraid
For I drown not in water, but in wanting all of you
In the unfathomed depth of being in love with you
Do you know, do you know what I feel being in your presence
To have my heart stand still at the very sight of you
To have such butterflies within my chest
Hoping that you would but glance at me
Yet be unable to meet your gaze
And for fear of saying the wrong thing be afraid to speak
All the while I am crying inside
To stand so close to you as to feel your breath on my cheek
And be unable to touch you, or to kiss your lips
Or to look lovingly into your eyes
Or to gently brush your hair behind your ear
To miss even the sound of your voice, your laugh
Being able to neither eat nor drink
Finding not any semblance of sleep
Desiring only to love you with all of my being
Knowing that the world only makes sense
When you are with me, when we are dancing
This is why I tremble, when you are holding me.

Kind of just poured out my heart and wrote it down.
