Sometimes,
I just want to sit
and ask you about your life
hear you get lost in a story
from a time before I knew you
Sometimes,
I want to hold you close
feel your breath catch in your throat
and release again
as the tears finally flow
Sometimes,
I want to sit across from you
on your bed that holds
so many memories
and stare deep into your soulful eyes
Sometimes,
I want to hold your hand
feel the shape of your fingers
intertwined with mine
and never let go
Sometimes,
I want to feel you inside me
and me inside you
make your heart beat faster
and your body tingle
Sometimes,
I want you to snuggle in
bury your head under my arm
tell me your darkest fears
and share your secrets
Sometimes,
I want to cook with you
moving around the kitchen
like we have been dancing together
our whole lives
Sometimes,
I want to kiss you softly
your lips parting
my warm tongue probing
butterflies growing
Sometimes,
I want to wake up before you
gaze at your beauty
imagine what we could have
if forever was a choice for us
Sometimes,
I want to tickle you
laugh when we fall to the floor
gasping for breath
and feeling so much joy
Sometimes,
I want to cry
I see the way you look at me
and know how I feel about you
and it is almost too much to bear
