(n.) the frustration of being stuck in just one body that inhabits only one place at a time

  ➳  

do not fall in love with my body

do not fall in love with the way i move

do not fall in love with the way i kiss

or the touch of my skin

or the way i look

do not fall in love with me

if that is the me that you know

instead;

fall in love with me

for my laugh

and the laugh i coax out of you

fall in love with me

for the words that come out of my mouth

and the way i make you talk

fall in love with me

for the heart within me

and not the body it resides in

i want a lover who matches my soul

not a lover who only knows the vessel

fall in love with me

because i love you

and you can't imagine a life without me

fall in love with me

because you want to grow old with me

and not because you are young

fall in love with me

because  you would wait for me

and not because you're living in the moment

do not fall in love with my body

do not fall in love because of this moment

for i am more than my body

and i am more than this moment

i am the kind of woman who deserves a love that's more
