When..... Poem by Jess Zapata

When I hold your hands
I feel like all my fears just go away
When you kiss my lips
I feel like you'll always be here to stay

When you stroke my hair
I feel like nothing else matters
When you hold me tight
I feel like all my hurt just shatters

When I'm next to you
I feel like all my wishes have come true
When you look at me and smile
I feel like all i ever want is you

When I'm not with you
I feel like I love you more and more each day
When I'm with you
I feel like I do love you in every way

When you said goodbye
I felt like I could just die
When you said you had to go
I felt like there was nothing I could do but cry
