New life

Watching you sleep

I reach out

I touch you

I tease you

Won’t you awaken

Or so you shall

Face me like never before

You are not afraid of me

 

I kiss you

You kiss back

I hold you

You hold back

I pull you

You pull back

Why won’t you be on top

You are always in control

The driving force that keeps us going

 

Is this what you want

May be

May be not

But who could control you

I couldn’t

I try

But you won’t let me

You’re the one thing I can’t understand

 

I wake up

You wake up

You’re here

By my side

Isn’t this what I wanted

The dream I never  had

Is it real

Or am I living someone else’s life

Like you tell a lie

And watch me cry

That cant be real

 

Is this love

May be

Or may be its something else

I role

And turn

And kiss

And cuddle

Shall you awaken

Alas you face me

As I try to please you

Am I succeeding

Is this what you want

 

You moan

You squeeze

You grab

Why won’t you let me go

So I won’t stop

I can’t stop

Till you tell me to

I must let you go now

Let me go now

We’ll try again later

 

Is this love

Is this the dream I never had

I don’t know

How would I know

Just stay here with me for now

I still can’t understand you

You come

You go

You’re here

You’re not

May be that’s the way I want it

May be that’s the way its supposed to be

I don’t want to get tired of you

So let’s leave things as they are

Perhaps we’ll make sense of it some day

Love is a complex beautiful thing - and so irksome. This is a wonderful description of it.
