c:\>comeover**

come over
i wanna trace hearts along
the lines of your skin to find
myself tracing thin air
in the near future

come over
i wanna make you lightheaded and
weak-in-the-knees
i wanna make rebreathers obsolete
cuz we share oxygen so efficiently
i-ll kiss you until both our mouths
are raw from being in constant proximity...
...only to spend nights
yearning for your touch
when you-re not around

come over
i wanna tell you how you light up my world.
i-ll do the math.
i-ll count the stars to realize
their combined brightness cannot add
up to the radiance you bring to my life...
this way i can calculate how much
darker my universe will be
in your eventual absence

come over
i wanna be real with you.
i wanna be able to discuss
my trials & tribulations
and fears with you—
you-ll see the darkest
parts of my mind...
…you-ll delve the deepest
parts of my soul
you-ll give me a shoulder to cry on...
...i-m sure a year from now,
those tears will transfer to my pillow

come over
i wanna make sincere love to you,
i-m talking that ground-breaking,
earth-shaking,
body shuddering,
resolve renewing,
intimate, desperate,
instinctual,
rubbingyourtemples2makesenseofwhatisgoingon-type love
you-ll feel too many sensations at once
i will gaze deeply into your eyes
and grin when i see
divine providence
staring right back
i-ll need it when i-m
self-destructively
sleeping with women
hoping to replace (or possibly recreate)
what we had.
naw...just—

come over
i wanna listen to music with you...
…you-ll share your taste in music with me,
i-ll share mine
i-ll come to appreciate jon b.,
maxwell, kem,
and brian mcknight
you-ll learn to love daley,
james blake, the **,
and denitia & sene
i-ll find a myriad
of my fav songs through you
i-ll appreciate having a song(s)
that make me think of you...
...especially when it plays...
...in that café i frequent...
and i get that
pit in my stomach...
...long after we parted ways

come over
i wanna let my guard down.
i-ll make myself vulnerable again
for you...
...just for you...
everyone else gets my
campaign-season poker face
but not you
i-ll love you w/every
fiber of my being—
all my heart, my soul,
my consciousness,
my unconsciousness too...
all of that,
you-ll be able to deem property of you
i will give you all of me
so that after it is all over,
we can go back to being strangers…
...cuz you know that
more than anything else,
i-ll wanna be able to pretend
like we never met—no—like you don-t exist
until the pain goes away.
...
but until then you-re
welcome to come over.
