Smart Thing To Do
There are so many things I have wanted
So many things I have wanted from you
There are so many things
That have scared me
Are we being safe
Is this the smart thing to do
And maybe the smart thing to do
Is to just avoid you
And get it over with
And maybe the smart thing to do
Is to get my arm around your neck
And drag your sorry ass to me
Because I have wanted you at my lips
And I have wanted that for a while
And there is only so much I can do
To stop myself from staying away from you
And maybe the smart thing to do
Is to just sit here
Until you come to me
And when you get here
Well, it is MINE, now,
And that is when I let it all go
The way I want it to be
It is at moments like this
When I want just about everything from you
And I want to wrap my legs around you
And I want to push you into me
And I want to push your life into me
And for just a few moments
I want to feel nothing else
than this ME thing,
And this YOU thing,
And I keep thinking
about this US thing
And that “just a moment” thing
is lasting a lifetime
And for once, that does not scare me
And that makes me want
So much more with you
And so much more from you
And Hell, I do not know
How this poem ends
I guess it is called life
And I will not be able to finish this
Until my life is over
And Hell, I will not be writing then
You know
Just know that I want you
And that I will want you
And that can last for now
And that it will last a lifetime
