I'm in love with the ideal of love
Don't know how long this has been going on
Mom said I've been this way since I was small but I never believed her
Maybe...

I'm not the type to dream of a prince
On a white horse coming to whisk me away
Don't need to be rescued
Just loved

I want to be past the newness of feeling love out
Testing love's emotional state
Always wanted to be in love's comfort zone where I don't have to be cute
All of the time
Don't have to watch what's said to spare love's feelings
My underwear and bra don't always have to match.
Always wanted to be where love and I can sit in silence and not be uncomfortable
Because after the silence comes the storm of our minds sharing thoughts.

I want love to wake me up to cold feet sliding in bed searching for warmth.
Want love to be spiritual
Even if we don't share the same beliefs without demanding conformity
Respect for each other coming naturally

I want love to take me out and hold my hand
Kiss my cheek
Value my opinion.

I want love to be my foundation
To open its mind wide
Accept a spoonful of knowledge
Grinding it in its third eye to wisdom
Spitting out it's understanding

I want love to embrace me
Allow it's energy to flow through me causing tingles in every nerve ending
Making me sit up and be aware
Stimulating from my eyelashes to my toenails.

After all that
After my heart has been racing in love's presence
After love has sent it's electric charge through my physical
Mental
Emotional
Spiritual
When it leaves, I want to feel drained and empty
Because how else would I know?
How else would I appreciate love for what it is?
That train that takes me to a perfect heavenly place where love's voice tickles my ears like harp strings and blurs my vision like the light at the end of that mystic tunnel
Last stop...
A deep dark hole I never realized I was digging while I was basting in the glow of love rays.

Peace :luvv:
