To be with someone!

~ Monkey ~

I want to be with somebody I like

for the first time in my life,

I'm tired of sleeping with the enemy

Even better yet,

I want to be with somebody who likes me,

Someone who wants to know how sweet I am,

What it means, and not just how

it feels to hold my hand.

Comparing feet from head to toes

brushing fingers across our arms,

to know a comfort zone that's wonderful

I have the right to know what it's like

to be with someone I can trust with all of me,

Man enough to brush my hair, (once in a while)

When I get sunburn

you'll be there to peel my skin

because you'll know how much

I like the way that makes me feel,

Monkey;

To lie naked in bed together

and enjoy each others’ touch

Hours of loving discovery,

Today every body is in such a rush,

I like to take things slow

there's so much more to explore

in knowing how much two people care,

The way you show it

makes a difference in what there is

to learn about each other!

I've been writing as long as I could hold a crayon! Remember writing my first story like it was yesterday at 5. I remember the details of the day, location, time, excitement & where the story was preserved for all time! Lots Born From That!
