Posted by I want to get to know you… slowly, so slowly, always searching, never caring about the destination
I wanted to hold your hand and feel you squeeze mine back
I want to let your hair through the palms of my hands
To hold your head in my hands while we kiss
To sense that little shrug that people do when the world falls away and nothing else exists for a moment
I wanted to know your taste
I want to know your smell
I wanted to see more of that little hop step you do when you’re amused with yourself and you don’t realize that anyone is watching
I want to watch the sunset illuminate your eyes over the waters on a pontoon boat ride
I wanted to see the last rays of sunset glance off your face through an airplane window at 30,000 feet, one of the few places on earth where we both feel at home at the same time
I want to watch you yell at the TV again & again on a lazy football Sunday
I wanted to go dancing with you, to feel our bodies moving in unison to the beat of the music
I want to see your eyes light up when you order nachos for the table
I wanted to run after you even after we’ve said our goodbyes for the night, to swing you into my arms because Shakespeare was right about “parting”
I want to know what Bill Withers and Aretha and Al Green and Marvin Gaye (no not that Marvin Gaye song but yes that one too) were singing about
But you need to want that too.
