I awaken every morning
with the overwhelming desire
to press my lips gingerly
upon you, over and again.
I wake slowly, unwilling
to leave my treasured slumber-
that is, until the first thought
of you flutters across my brain.
And baby, it doesn't take long.
Turns out I wouldn't mind
so very much waking up
over and again every morning,
as long as I get to wake up
to you and receive a prized
kiss from those lips.

You know, I'm pretty sure
I could watch you for just a minute,
     the most fleeting of moments,
and find a hundred reasons more
     to fall in love with you.
I catch myself staring all too often,
eyes tracing over your features
as I try to understand,
     even just a little bit,
this spell you have over me.
I'm not speaking of swooning
     over the curvature of your clavicles
or tumbling down into the depths
     of your green eyes.
Though if I'm honest,
     I love all those cliché things too.
                                                                 No, baby, you see,
                                                                        I've fallen quite madly,
                                                                             for you, wholly,
                                                                                  mind,
                                                                                      heart,
                                                                                           and spirit.
                                                                 It is the very essence of you
                                                                     that causes my ardent adoration.

The feeling of your hand
resting gently on my leg
has become my own
private religion.

**I worship your touch.

Metamorphosis
I feel a churning within
This change is coming...

My favorite moments
aren't significant at all.
It's rolling over in the morning
to see you lying there,
trips to the grocery store,
you lying on the floor
with your head in my lap
while we listen to music.
I read my books and you play
video games or surf the Internet
and we don't speak.
It's skateboard dates and
car rides where your hand rests on my leg
just to grab an impromptu snack.
No, my most treasured moments
don't seem like very much,
but they're my most precious
possessions, and I'd give it all up
to keep having these little nothing
moments for the rest of my life.

I don't want someone I can't live without-to me, that's not what true love is about at all.  A state of being completely and fully dependent upon another is no good.  I'll tell you what I think love should be instead-not someone to move any mountains for you, but one who will stand by your side through it all, whether planned or not.  Don't fix it for me, but hold my hand and together we'll conquer our world.

Putting on my face
The world's so topsy-turvy
Hold tight! The ride's tough
