I crave intimacy Delicate touches that reach into me like pressing down on an old mattress, feel my skin cave in, hear it creak and cry out Make this sound into a melody One that I will sing to myself on nights that you are not here I crave intimacy Drawn out conversations about the future and the past, avoiding mistaken mishaps and leaning over boundary lines Racing towards insanity, or racing away from it Whichever you would prefer I crave intimacy Dancing in the dim light coming from the television screen in the living room, neither of us are very good at it so the laughter is much more consistent than the skill of our movement I crave intimacy Kisses on my neck that send lightning bolts down my spine, there is something about lips touching the bases of what holds your head up, it makes you want to fall into them Kisses on my neck from your lips would make me never want to stand again, I can only imagine the paralysis I crave intimacy Simple sometimes, simple as going out to lunch and splitting the ticket, or sweet glances in the car, or showing you my favorite songs, or even soft skims of the back of our hands as we walk side by side, a marvel that neither of us were expecting I crave intimacy With someone who does not push me past my limits, someone who respects my hazardous past, someone who does not question my ability to walk, even when I know that I can't Someone who believes in me Someone a lot like you
