I’m meant to be loved
Slowly but passionately
I’m meant to be loved through old film photos
And through pouring rain dancing
I’m meant to be loved by holding hands
I’m meant to be loved with kisses on the counter
And with soapy fingers through your hair
I’m meant to be loved by pulling me closer as we sleep
And morning breath kisses
I’m meant for a love that is real and there
And physical in all the ways other than sex
And then that too
I’m meant to be loved with kisses on my palm
And soft touches
I’m meant to be loved by bumping knees while we eat ice cream
And with spontaneous dancing to late night jazz on the radio
I’m meant to be kissed with sticky pancake syrup lips
I’m meant to be loved carefully
Softly slowly tenderly and oh so passionately
I’m meant to be loved wholly and completely
Inside and out
I’m meant for something more than an “r u up?” text
