i want
all of you

is that too much to ask?

images of last night keep turning over in my mind

you said
"i need you"

you can read my mind
without me saying a word

you are
miraculous

please
please
please

let this work out

our toes have inched over the line

we're playing the role of friends
but we both want to be more

can you feel the electricity?

tonight we took a walk to get the brookline tab
after watching la la land

we both knew it wouldn't be there

laughing and singing, we made our way through the deserted streets
giddy, in our pajamas

we ended up at our park and found a bench for two

the crickets our chorus
the lamppost our spotlight

i held my breath, and took a leap of faith

because *******,
you're worth it

it's amazing how
just one text from you
can send a wave of delicious heat
crashing through me

imagine what your touch could do.

I can't help but notice
that we haven't exchanged
those three particular words yet

If we were just friends,
I would have said them by now
because I do love you

But if we were more,
not quite.

They would be reserved
just a while longer
because they'd mean something more special

have you also bit your tongue
for a reason?

I'm not supposed to think about you like that

it's supposed to help
it does help
putting a wall around my heart
lets me move through my days
unencumbered, content with what we are

but thoughts of more are powerful bait:
hook, line, and sinker
I'm carried away
down a whirlpool of imaginings,
analyses, desires, and daydreams

can you just rescue me already?
