The Craving

a villanelle, in which the rhyme scheme is ABA ABA ABA ABA ABA ABAA

I want to be near you.

Like a fire that is yearning for water;

I want you to know my heart craves you

The yearning as a peach ripens,

And I have never been so sure.

I want to be near you.

As the walls to my garden opens,

Your keys to my heart brings me nearer.

I want you to know my heart craves for you.

I want an eternal love for you that never ends.

I want you with me forever.

I want to be near you.

My love for you is how you make me after a holy cleanse.

I want you to know you make me feel beautiful, and that if you were my lover,

I want you to know my heart craves for you.

You do not have to look at me through a rose-colored lens.

I want to be near you.

I want you to know my heart craves for you.

And if I were to let go it would be never.
