Lust of the Mind


You are probably the most confusing person I have ever met.

You are an idiotic asshole,

You even make me mad with just a few words spilled from your mouth,

But even through the things that infuriate me about you

 

I still love you

 

I want my love to wrap you up in warmth like a blanket you sleep with at night

Let me fill you up and warm you from head to toe, on a cold night

With the stars shining there beautiful glow   

This is not a sickening sweet romance filled with desperate longing

It does not make your heart so fast that it falls out of your chest

No I do not love you with my heart

 

I love you with my mind

 

I love your creativity,

how you obsess over things you love,

how passionate you are,

the way you never give up no matter how much you get pushed down

How you put everything you have into what you're doing

All the weird things you do

Hell I even love the music you listen to

I love it all

 

The list goes on and on forever

I could list things from sun up till sundown

 

But I could never love you with my heart

 

Let us hold each other thoughts in the palms of our hands rather than hold each other

Give me your ideas instead of a kiss


Let me love your mind
