Hi there, Cece! I hope that you're having fun, and aren't being bombarded with a lot of stressful work! So I finally got around to the second gift fic for the gift fic chain, and this time, it's a RomeSey poem for you. (I actually wanted to write a oneshot of them for you, but nothing felt like it was the right fight to eventually gift to you. This I knew from the get go was my gift to you.) You caused me to ship this wonderful pairing and deserve the longest fanpoem that I've ever written. I hope that you like it. (Don't feel obligated to participate in the chain if you can't for any reason, and linking back to me is allowed.) So here, it is finally after however long it's been since I first had the idea to start off a giftfic chain. I hope that the RomeSey is to your liking and is hopefully as fun and awesome to read as it is for me to read your RomeSey stories.
Strong, tan hand
gripped mine
My breath held against my will
I wanted him to kiss me
but I knew better
He had two kids my age
Holding hands will have to do
I'm still a child
in his eyes, I'm sure
I love you
Almost escapes my lips
I hold it back
Don't leave my side
My heart yearns to be near you
I hold it back
like the way my body seals my breath back in anticipation
I love you
from the warm eyes that twinkle in to my own
to the strong feet that keep you upright
I want to touch your soft, curly hair
but I don't
I'm wiser than my body
that still yearns for you
Why should I confess without a chance in the world?
I love you
almost flies almost bidden from my lips
You'd think of it as paternal
I know, I know
I hold my tongue anyway
Julius, could you know?
I bite my tongue
locked inside a mouth that's too young for you
I love you
This means nothing
except hopeless desire
Why must you tempt me so?
I'm too young for every longing thought
If you held me,
I'd never go home
I love you past international flaws
I'm not dumb enough to think you'll love me back
A fool's crush, a fool's desire
I love you
Feelings consume me that are much too old for this life and love
Why must I hold on to this nearly childish crush?
