Hold You Close

I wanna hold you close,
closer than the spaces between our breaths,
closer than the quiet that falls between words.
I wanna look into your eyes,
not just to see their color,
but to dive deeper, to feel the soul that lives behind them,
the soul that speaks without needing a voice.
In your gaze, there’s something unspoken,
something I’ve always been searching for,
as if you’ve always been here,
waiting for this moment,
and I never knew until now.

I always wanted someone like you—
not just for the way you smile,
or the way you make everything feel softer,
but for the way you’re simply present,
rooted in this world,
and yet, there’s something ethereal about you.
You’re beautiful, sure,
but it’s the kind of beauty that doesn’t fade,
the kind that lives in your energy,
in the way you carry yourself without pretense,
in the way you don’t have to try to be seen.
It’s in the way you are,
the way your presence fills a room without words,
and suddenly, the air feels different.

Cute, yeah, that too,
but not in the fleeting way,
not in the way that changes with time.
You’re cute in the way you laugh,
in the way you look at me when you think I’m not noticing,
in the small things,
the way you find joy in the simplest moments.
It’s that kind of cute that makes me wanna stay,
that makes me wanna know every part of you.
You make the world seem less heavy,
like nothing is as complicated as it seems
when you’re here beside me.

I wanna hold you close,
to feel the warmth of your skin,
not just the surface,
but the heat that comes from deep within,
from the core of who you are.
There’s a softness in you,
but there’s strength too,
a quiet resilience that shows in the way you move,
in the way you don’t let the world break you,
even when it tries.
You’re down to earth in ways that make me feel grounded,
like I can find my own center
just by being near you.

I wanna hold you close,
not to possess,
but to share in the silence,
the kind that doesn’t need to be filled.
There’s something sacred in the stillness with you,
in the moments where time seems to stop,
where the world falls away,
and it’s just us,
breathing in the same space,
connected without needing to say a thing.
It’s in those moments
that I feel like I’ve found something rare,
something that feels like it was meant to be.

You’re smooth in the way you move,
like the ocean at dawn,
steady, calm, but with a depth
that I want to dive into.
There’s no rush in the way you exist,
no urgency to be anything other than who you are,
and that’s what draws me in.
You make it easy to just be,
to let go of the noise,
to forget the world outside of us.
You make everything feel slower,
like we have all the time in the world,
even if we don’t.

I wanna hold you close,
closer than the night holds the stars,
closer than the moon holds the tides.
I wanna trace the lines of your face,
not to memorize them,
but to understand the story they tell,
the life that’s shaped you into who you are.
There’s something in your touch
that makes everything feel lighter,
like the weight I carry isn’t so heavy
when you’re near.

I always wanted someone like you—
someone real,
someone who doesn’t hide behind masks or walls.
You’re open in ways that make me feel safe,
make me feel like I can be myself,
without fear, without doubt.
You’ve got this way of seeing me,
not just the parts I show the world,
but the parts I try to hide,
and you don’t turn away.

I wanna hold you close,
because in your arms,
I find a quiet that I didn’t know I was missing.
It’s not just about the physical closeness,
but the closeness of knowing,
of understanding without needing to ask.
There’s something about you
that makes me feel like I’ve come home,
like I’ve found a place where I can finally rest.

You’re smooth,
but not in the polished, practiced way.
You’re smooth in the way you speak,
in the way your words flow like water,
gentle but carrying weight.
You don’t have to raise your voice to be heard,
because your presence says enough.
There’s a rhythm to the way you exist,
a flow that feels natural,
like you’re in sync with something deeper,
something that can’t be touched by the chaos of the world.

I wanna hold you close,
not just for tonight,
but for all the nights to come.
I wanna wake up beside you,
to see the first light of day
touch your skin and know
that this is where I’m meant to be.
I wanna share the quiet mornings,
the unspoken moments,
the small things that make life feel full.

You’ve got this way of making everything feel simple,
like the answers are right there
if we just stop looking so hard.
You don’t rush,
you don’t push,
you just are,
and that’s enough.
It’s more than enough.

I wanna hold you close,
because in your arms,
I find something I didn’t know I was searching for.
It’s not about filling the silence,
but about being in it together,
about knowing that in this space,
everything is as it should be.
There’s no need for more,
no need for anything beyond this.

I always wanted someone like you,
someone who could make the world feel softer,
who could make the edges blur
until all that’s left is this moment.
You’re beautiful, sure,
but it’s the kind of beauty that doesn’t need to be noticed,
because it’s felt.
It’s in the way you make me feel,
like I’m safe,
like I’m home.

So let me hold you close,
let me feel the warmth of your soul,
let me stay in this moment,
where everything feels right.
Let me look into your eyes,
not for what I can see,
but for what I can feel,
for the connection that runs deeper
than anything I could ever explain.

I wanna hold you close,
because with you,
I don’t need anything else.
Just this,
just us,
just the quiet understanding
that we’ve found something
that was always meant to be.
