Tug

Tugging at the strings of my heart hurts

Its almost unbearable

Its because I love you so

My dearest friend, when you can't make up your mind, the stitching becomes weaker

I've had my heart torn to shreds before

With some time, I patched it up, not as perfect as before, but enough to fool everyone that it was okay

When you met me, I was almost sure that you could fix it all the way

However, with me tittering on the edge of certainty and uncertainty of you caring I find myself trying to tie the pieces together

I want to be with you, by your side so we can see each other as plainly as possible

I never though that I would love you like I love you now, but it has happened to me

I can't tell if this is right or wrong, to let you sting me along

But what I do know is that everyone else agrees that we need each other

Because of the way you look at me

The way you ruffle my hair

The way you wrap me in a hug

The way you kiss me on my nose and forehead

The way you tease me but know when to say sorry when you've gone to far

You do all these things yet we aren't together

It's because of these things that you tug at the strings holding my heart together

I wish you would choose who you give your heart to because I know I would guard it as I hope you guard mine

So when we sit together, watching old cartoons and movies, eating snacks and drinking warm drinks, huddle together in the cold

I hope you realize that all the things you do to me, it's because you love me

Because you see the girl who teases you

The girl who helps with work and school

The girl who is your best friend

The girl whose hair you ruffle and whose nose and forehead you kiss

I wish with all my patched up heart that you look at me with longing

That you wipe away my tears and caress my skin

That your kiss finally comes to my lips

Because I love you so

But my heart can't take much more(poems go here)
