6 Years Later, 6 Years Wiser, 6 Years Happier

Walking along with you in the mall
Seeing you look at me during a dinner
Knowing what's on your mind
But not being able to address it because of your fear
My desire to have you forever
Your desire to be had forever
Not the old woman with hundreds of cats
You can have the love of a lifetime
If you'll just open up, open up
You open so much else,
Why not your heart and mouth
The beach, the warm sand, running with you
Looking at your body as we lay panting together
Admiring the curves, the blatant femininity of you
Loving the sex, loving the eyes, loving the face
Carved of granite in feature, wrapped in silk of texture
Being alone in order to be safe
To be safe and what? Alone?
Better to be open, say what's there and risk
Life is risk
In the end, as you look at your assembled prodigy
Do you think you'll regret taking so many risks?
Will you regret losing me?
Will you regret losing us?
I already do.
I did long ago when I first realized you did not want me
Who was I to you?
Was I the answer?
Did I rock your world as much as you rocked mine?
Still selfish?
Still wanting only that which will help you?
I'm here.
Holding your hand walking through the scariest doors.
Leading you when you need to be the little girl
Waiting for you when you need to window shop.
Understanding all of you, waiting for you to do the same.
Love me as I love you.
Open up.
Forsake me your body if that means I can have more of your heart.
Give me you as I give you me.
What good is success and beauty without the right one to share it?
What good is life and happiness without the one who helped you seek?
Fine wine, drunk fools, hang on me girl
Slobbery, silly sex.
Take the day off and enjoy each other.
Chinese dragons, Asian Tigers.
Beef soup, grilled cheese sandwiches, Gatorade.
Loving the stretch marks, the sex of them
Hands over your hips, so powerfully deep the drive
Eyes on nipples, suckling them, watching you flinch
Bringing you again and again and again where only I can take you
Only me. Not even you. Not even you can take you there.
More than skill, purely love.
Mistakes on both sides of the ball.
Poor defense. Silly offense.
Mistakes each team can make up for with hard work.
Successful adults give up not at all.
We choose not whom we love.
We choose how we treat them and how much we forsake for them.
I would forsake all.
Would you?
Once you forsake all, you know there's nothing else.
Nothing in heaven, earth, hell or deep blue sea that compares.
Holding your hand, feeling pride.
Phone calls from you, just A T T E N T I O N from you
All I wanted, just your hands on my body
Make me feel what you won't tell me with your mouth
Through your hands
Woman needs so much from man.
What does a man need from a woman?
More.
More.
More.
Not,
More me.
More me.
More me.
My heart is yours, you can have it back.
Your heart is mine, but I can't take it back.
I wish I could.
Mistakes are here and now.
What is there tomorrow?
Shall we look together?
Shall we look while thinking of each other?
How do you let go of the love of your life?
How do you let go of the one you've dreamed of
Long before you met them?
How do you forget how perfect they were?
By focusing on how human they are?
I cannot.
