Ready

I want my fingers to strike your skin
Like the matches in the matchboxes you've been collecting
And I want sparks to emanate from my fingertips
As I stroke your bottom lip
And lean in to kiss
Those lips that I have missed
So deeply
And it seems an eternity has passed
Since I last
Held you in my arms, but it’s been only hours
But this fire is only ours
To burn
And as time turns
Quickly or slowly it matters not
For I will have sought
After you the same in every other reality
In every parallel you were meant for me
Summer has come and gone but I still feel the heat
Coming off of you
I see the blue
Watery reflections in your eyes
With your thighs
Wrapped tightly around my waist
In the place
Where we would swim and play
And I can smell blackberries ripe and sweet
When I bury my face in your golden hair I keep
These memories close to me
And I add new ones too
And more and more I try less to play it cool
Because I want to tell you everything
Every thought that crosses my mind that seems crazy
Because it doesn’t feel so crazy anymore
I dream of the things that are in store
For you and I
And I find comfort in your eyes
In your subtle sighs
Between phrases
When your eyebrow raises
And you speak my name
I know you feel the same
And you may never feel ready
But it might just feel right
To want to be in my life
There is no other woman that I could find
Who I would want to call mine
