Creep

I see you.

You’re sitting there at your favorite bar.

Drinking your favorite drink.

A cosmo. Extra lime.

You’re acting like you don’t have a care in the world.

But you have a secret, don’t you?

You go home every night,

Wishing you had a man to come home to.

Instead you come back to nothing.

Emptiness. Loneliness.

I see you cry as you get ready for bed.

Through the crack between your curtains.

I want to hug you.

Hold you.

Be with you, always.

Well, I’ve got news for you, beautiful.

I’ve been studying you.

For days.

Weeks.

Months.

I know all of your favorite things.

And all of your pet peeves.

You are my love at first sight.

You are my everything.

I will be the greatest man for you.

I will do anything for you.

I will be yours.

And you will be mine.
