I want to be more
You ask me what we are
I squeeze your hand
  ….I want
              Walks on the beach
                         Ice cream dripping from our lips
                                   the summer heat beating down on us
                Roller coaster rides
                        Fear building up inside me
                                     But it's okay because you're right beside me
                Midnight drives
                          Safe from the winter chill
                                    In the comfort of your coat
                Spring gardening
                           Covered in dirt and mud
                                     And I'm wearing your old shirt
Instead I smile and wait
I wait for an answer,
  an answer I don't want to hear
You say you're confused
You say you don't know
I promise to wait for you
To let you figure out how you feel
My pride falls to the pit of my stomach
More than anything I wish I could *****
I want to run away from your car
But I don't want to leave your side
This is more than lust
It's more than a friendship

  I WANT us to be more than a brief comet ablaze in the sky
                 and gone in the blink of an eye
Patience is a virtue, or so they say.
