desires


I want you, all of you

 

I want the happiness that follows a good day

I want the sadness that comes after a bad break

I want you to give me some of the weight on your shoulders

I want you to contage me joy

 

I want your hands

I want your hands with calluses 

I want your hands after a soft scrub

I want your hands in my hair and on my thighs

I want your hands in mine 

I want to be the hand you hold when your scared

I want your hands when you need love

I want your hands when you just need somebody near

I want your hands just because

 

I want your crooked smile

I want your smile when giggle after you hear a dirty joke

I want your cheeks when they blush

 

I want your eyes

I want your eyes when they're angry and look like a black storm

I want you eyes when they are bliss and light hearted

I want your eyes when you laugh

I want your eyes when you cry

I want eyes when they're looking straight at me

I want your eyes when you look off into the distance

 

I want your lips

I want your lips when they meet mine

I want your lips when they're babbling on about frivolous things

I want your lips when the corners rise after a good laugh

 

I want your mind

I want your mind all the time babe

I want it when it has too many tabs open

I want it when it won't refresh

I want it when it's worn out and tired

I want it when it is overloaded

I want it when it's at peace with itself

I want it when it's jumping from one thing to the next

I want it when you can't stop thinking about something

I want it when it seems clustered and a mess

I want it when you think of bad things 

I want it when you remember fun days

I want it when it brings back memories

I want it when it's memorizing words

I want it when it's figuring out problems

I want it when it feels like it's about to explode

 

I want you, all of you
