What's so wrong
     about needing a little
            pain
      to exist?

I love the way
your breath tastes,
and how it
feeds me life.
.
I love the way
your hands talk,
and the things
they say to me.
.
I love the way
your eyes smile,
and how they
always match mine.
.
I love the way
your legs shake,
and how strong
they always are.
.
I love the way
your chest listens,
and sets the pace
for my own heart.
.
I love the way
you move your toes,
whenever you feel
you're so close.
.
I love the way
you hair falls,
and it hides your
face from the world.
.
I love the way
your back moves,
and how it feels
so warm and strong.
.
I love the way
your neck beats,
and how it
helps me exist.
.
I love the way
your mouth stutters,
when air and words
fight to come out.
.
I love the way
your body combusts,
because mine does
the same for yours.

I want a love who
loves me dearly,
I want a love who
loves me well.
.
I want to be taken
by the hand,
I want to be guided
out of hell.
.
I want a heart that
is beating wildly,
I want a perfect match
for mine.
.
I want a flame that
lasts forever,
and slowly burns me
from the inside.
.
I want a dream that
goes on forever,
I want it to always
be the night.

I need someone who loves me tenderly
Someone whose kisses are kind.
.
Maybe someone who listens carefully
To everything that can't be spoken.
.
Someone who realizes I break easily
And lets me know that it is fine.
.
Someone who loves my weakness
And talks me through the night.
.
Someone to unravel or disappear with
And to forget all about time.
.
I need someone to catch me when I fall
And knows to wait for me to get up.
.
Someone who will make feel strong
When I can barely manage to stand up.
.
But what I need the most is someone
Who does it all without me knowing it.
.
     So I can feel I am the one they are
           Able to rely on any time.

And so it was that time passed by,
                               the years came and went,
  and every minute seemed like the first,
every look, renewed.
                Every vow was new.
Even when the only words left to say were
              "I Love You"
       it seemed as if they were always being said
   for the first time.

Your head resting on my shoulder
.
Your nails digging into my skin
.
Your heart beating with mine
.
Us forever becoming one
