Lover,
Do you understand the way my heart desires you?
the way my soul longs for your touch-
Not the touch you give without thought
Or the kisses you do not seem to mind-
Those are but the surface of the endless desire
No, my love
the way I long for you is without parallel
I could spend my nights pining
Or spend verse after verse of exposition-
Like those poets of old-
But it would be no use
Lover,
I hope you understand,
I have tried to speak my mind,
You are all I want
And all I think of late at night
You are the stars and the rain
And every small, strong, beautiful, and rugged thing
...
I simply desire the intentional love you give me
Please, my dearest
Do not forget to love me with intention
