The Love of Like

Like
a junkie awaiting the next hit
I long to inhale you
S l o w l y
Like
an avid shopper
I long to try you on
Slip you on
and
Wrap myself in your warmness
like my favorite sweater
Like
soul food
I want to
Eat you up
and
savor the flavor
Of heart felt good to the last drop
"can I get some mo to go" dinner
Like
laundry
I want to bathe you in the gentelest waters
And
dry you for at least 70 mins
Taking your soul and folding it
Neatly and placing it in my drawer
Like
an artist
I want to stare at you on a white canvas
And go over the contours of your love
Each line, each scribble, each stroke
Like
a teacher
I want to teach you things most
Don t have the patience for
And study you for extra credit
Like
a singer
I want to serenade you
Beneath the clouds
Until my lungs give out
And the curtains have gone down
Like
a gardner
I want to plant
Seeds of futuristic
Positivity with you
And
watch them grow
Out of control
Like
a bookworm
I want to read
Be tween
The lines
And cipher you out
Until I cannot think anymore
Like
infinity
I want to love you
For
Ever and ever and ever
