I want you to kiss me
Like you'll never get to again
Like every kiss is our last

I want you to hold me
Like you've never rested hands on me before
Like holding me is new and irresistible

I want you to love me
Like you've not seen me in years
Like the long lost love of your life has found her way home to you

And yet what I want
Is never what I get
And that's okay too.

You kiss me the same every time
Like a blueprint on how to kiss
Just right for me

You barely touch me
Like if you did I'd burn you
Like I'm wild, like I'm lightning

You love me quietly
Behind closed doors in hushed voices
Like even eight years in, we're still some secret teenage fling

I like that too, in a sense
It's familiar to me at this point
I'm sure if you added passion I'd get lost

So maybe I fantasize of a suave romantic husband
It's okay if you stay just like this
Because you're a little slice of a memory now

A memory of before we uprooted our lives
So we may have a chance at a family of our own
And our own life together without extra stress

So kiss me as you like
Hold me if you choose
Love me like you do

As long as it's you.
