do you want
to give me more
will you hold back
shutting the door
i don't want it all
all at once
i only ask for more
time  and affirming words
remind me how you feel
a day or two a week
you touch me but
i need your voice
share your thoughts
your worries and such
God only knows
i'm not asking much

we sat there in your van
running fingertips over bare skin
you kissed my head
it rested gently on your chest
words unspoken
peace and happiness shared

i gazed up at your face
you were smiling down at me
i rubbed your chin
breaking the silence
"i don't want you to leave me"
your expression changed
