When you ask to be friends
I try and simply explain
That after tasting Bluefin tuna
How could I settle for a McDonald's fish fillet?

Everything about me reminds me of you.
I feel your lips tracing my collar bone,
Your words slip off my tongue,
My legs crave to open
To your touch.

I want to mold myself into a shape
You've never felt
And re-color myself
In a way you've never seen.

Your heart changes seasons too quickly
For my wildflower soul.

Eventually
The hope of someone new
Touching my heart
Was more than the fear
Of never again feeling
Your red kisses.

You smile because
every time I see you
my eyelids start to get heavy within minutes.  
i spent an hour on my hair,
but i always find myself with my head
on the pillow close to  
you.

Your voice
Is the soft, warm blanket
I sleep under in rainy days.

It is the nostalgic smell
Of the heater turning on for
The first time in the winter.  

It is the comforting lap of my parents
I would find solace in sitting on
When I was small.

It is a warm shower after
A snow flurry hurried me
in from the cold.

It is my safe place,
The rumbling of your sweet mountain voice
And the accent of the land from which you came.

Let me hear it only once more as I drift off to
S
