The list keeps growing
The things I want to do with you
The ‘Come up behind you
wrap my arms around and kiss your neck
until I feel your knees give out’
That one’s quite high up there
The ‘Fumble around trying to
make you a decent cup of tea
after a horrid day.’
‘Read poetry to you,’
by real poets,
‘in exchange for reading
Watership Down to me.’
(A grown man can love a book
about rabbits, can’t he?)
Of course the scores
Which involve you being very naked
Somewhat naked
And various states of naked -
Those were so high up they barely
Made it on the page
Teach me to dance (though, I think I care for you too much to ask you to do that)
Walk holding hands by a river
a pond
an ocean
any other body of water not previously mentioned
Museums, concerts, parks
Picking out carpeting (Not really sure what that one’s about)
And a host of others
But the most important
The one that doesn’t require
A note on a legal pad
Or a helpful reminder on a postcard
Look in those gorgeous brown eyes
And try and explain
How I feel for you
And know that on some level
You understand
But will never know the full extent
That one
That one is everything.
