I’ve waited as long as I can remember
For words to fall like wax instead of ice
I settled for false promises dripping from lustful mouths
But even worse, I believed them after time.
Then step by step, brick by brick
You came through...picking at my comfort zones
Challenging my safe places
I kept you at bay...
But I can’t lie enough to say I don’t care for you
You are all I was afraid to wish for
All except the one thing I need…
Breath on my neck...kisses on my cheek
A pile of clothes you forgot on my floor
These things seem asinine, maybe even trite...
Yet, I crave it more than love.
