i like that. i like all of that.
that thing you do – that right there?
where you bite your lip and grip my hip
and bring us heart-to-heart –
i love that. i love all of that.
that thing you do – that right there?
a breathless curse with every burst
of energy, of life…a sharp intake of breath –
i want that. i want all of that.
that thing you do – that right there?
spend time with me and let me see
that you value us both the same…
i need that. i need all of that.
that thing you do – that right there?
come here – and stay – and we’ll be okay,
just five more minutes in bed…
i crave that. i crave all of that.
that thing you do – that right there?
a nice, strong stroke, then a nice, long toke
a pattern we know all too well.
i had that. i had all of that.
that person you were - him, back then?
quality time with a partner in crime
or…at least, that’s what i thought…
i allowed that. i allowed all of that.
those things you said – those words right there?
the tears I’ve cried have barely dried
permanently scarring my cheeks.
i wasted that. i wasted all of that.
that potential – that right there?
my time and my space – and all this good face!
all this care and patience you never valued.
still, i miss that. i miss all of that.
that thing you do – that right there?
just kiss my face and invade my space
just one.more.time…please.
