"Better Than The Books"

"Better Than The Books"

"I want to be winked at
From across the room.
To be kissed on the forehead.
To be hugged so intensely that enjoyment is inevitable.

I want to see bright eyes
And a smile
Behind the hand that cups my chin.
I want to feel adored.

I want to be rescued.
I want time spent with me to be precious.
I want conversation without words.
I want life to be better than the books I read.

I want goals met,
Travels taken,
And dreams dreamt...
Together.

I want rocks,
Pictures,
Stars,
And poetry.

I want the overwhelming truth
Of what I feel
To be evident also
In your eyes."
