This Type Love (reprinted)
I want a love like
Me thinking of you thinking of me thinking of you type love
Or
Me telling my friends more than more than I've admitted to myself about how I feel about you type love
Or
Hating how jealous you are, but loving how much you want me all to yourself type love
Or
Seeing how your first name just sounds so good next to my last name
And s**t, I wanted to see how far I could get without calling you, and I barely made it out of my garage
I want a love that makes me wait until she falls asleep, then wonder if she's dreaming about us being in love type love
Or
Who loves the other more
Or
What she's doing at this exact moment
Or
Slow dancing in the middle of our apartment to the music of our hearts, closing my eyes and imagining how a love so good, could just, hurt so much when she's not there
And
S**t, I love not knowing where this love is headed type love
And check this,
I want to place those little post-it notes all around the house so she doesn't have to guess how much I love her type love
And
Not have enough ink in my pen to write all the things I love about her type love
And
Hope I make her feel how good she makes me feel
And
I want to deal with my friends making fun of me the way I made fun of them when they went through the same kind of love type love
Only difference is, this is one of those real love type loves
And just like in high school, I want to spend hours on the phone not saying s**t, and then fall asleep, and then wake up with her right next to me.
And smell her all up in my covers type love.
I want to try counting the ways I love her, then lose count in the middle just so I start all over again
I want to celebrate one of those "one month anniversaries", even though they aint really anniversaries, but doin it just because it makes her happy type love
And
Check this, I want to fall in love with the melody the phone plays when her number dials in type love
And
Talk to you until I lose my breath, she leaves me breathless, but with the expanding of my lungs, I inhale all of her back into me.
I want a love that makes me need to change my cell phone calling plan, to something that allows me to talk to her longer, cause in all honestly, I wanna avoid one of them high cell phone bill type loves
And
I want a love that makes me regret how small my hands are, I mean the lines on my palm don't give me enough time to love you as long as I'd like to type love
And
I want a love that makes me st-st-st-stutter just thinking how strong this love is type love
And
I want a love that makes me wanna cut off all my hair; wellwell maybe not all the hair, maybe like I cut the split ends and trim my mustache, but it would still be a symbol of how strong my love is for her!
And check this
I kinda feel comfortable now, so: I even be fantasizing about walking out on a green light, just dying to get hit by a car just so I could lose my memory, get transported to some third world country just to get treated, and somehow meet up again with you, so I can fall in love with you in a different language and see if it still feels the same type love.
I want a love that's as unexplainable as she is.
