Sweet Caroline

Do you feel caged?
Like you are standing on the precipice of something
hugely terrifying...
and that I am going to push you off?

Do you feel scared?
When you think of the hours, days, weeks
of nothing but each other
worried that it will mean too much...

Do you understand who I am?

Compass, not anchor.
No games, no bullshit.
Wouldn't know where to begin,
but I know what I want.

It would just be nice to
hold you for a while
smile into your eyes
laugh together
sleep together
love together...for a little while.

I'm selfish in this - because I miss the strength
I get from looking at you
looking at me.

The comfort that comes from...
time spent wrestling on round red pillows.
And the smiles that come after.

Did you think I forgot?

Late nights discussing and arguing over
what makes a man a "super man"?
Or makes a woman beautiful?
Or how much wine can you really consume before you completely
forget how great a night was?

There is more than one reason I love the rain.
And plenty more that help me appreciate
the sunshine.

I don't bite...unless you're into that ;).

-See you soon.

Asha
