Love Poems to Almost Lovers

i. We keep talking about short summer dresses and collared shirts of different colors. Sometimes I want to grab you by the shoulders and shake you and scream something crazy, like ”Last night, I dreamed that you were running your fingers across my stomach and for the first time in a long time I did not try to run away. I trust your hands more than I trust my feet. Can’t you see that I just want you to pull me as close as two people can be and kiss me?”

ii. You have calloused hands and a tender heart. You are slow to anger and always full of laughter. I want you the way I have always wanted some reckless and romantic rogue to compose me love songs on guitar. Last night, you called me “darling” and my heart fluttered - you told me that when you called me “babe” and meant it, my heart would fly away.

iii. We are playing chat roulette. I know that I am not the girl you are looking for and I am not sure that I even want to be.
