Love Poem: Addicted

Addicted

I want to lie next to you,
and watch the sunrise
as you sleep gracefully.

I always master every step
that you make,
as you enter the house.

I love drinking with your cup
when you are in night shift.

Scent of your perfume still lingers
in my mind.

Pronunciation of your name is sweeter
than any dessert I know.

Sometimes I call you on the phone,
and click "Speaker", so that the house
is filled by your voice.

The milkman can tell you're in the house,
when I greet him earnestly, as though it's
my last time to ever see the world again.

Time stands still when you stand right in front
of me, staring me with eyes that blend
in red roses, sweet nothings, and hot baths.

You're always in my mind,
because I'm addicted to you......
