Danielle…
Meet me at midnight
Down at the campfire
Or on the porch swing
We will laugh, relax
And have a drink
While making fun of me 😁

Or….

We can lay on our backs
And count the stars
That shimmer above the trees
Then plan our adventures
And grow our connection
As we share our hopes and dreams

Kiss me when your happy
Kiss me when your mad
Kiss me when your hurting
Kiss me when your sad

Kiss me while we drink coffee
Kiss me walking to the car
Kiss me in while we eat sushi
Or on the porch at the farm

Kiss me when your freezing
Kiss me with some sass
Kiss me when holding hands
Or in front of the window glass

Kiss me in the kitchen
Kiss me as I gaze in your eyes
Kiss me when your nervous
Or as I hold your thighs

Kiss me as we’re walking
Kiss me in the cool air
Kiss me as talk about our lives
Or when I’m unaware

Kiss me when I see you next
Kiss me to say goodbye
Kiss me for no reason at all
For Danielle - Your kisses make me feel alive!

How do I let her know…
That I’m filled with butterflies
At just the thought
Of her kiss

How do I let her know…
That she captures my attention
With the shortest text
Or the smallest word
 
How do I let her know…
That I find her
The most interesting person
And crave
To know what she’s thinking about

How do I let her know…
I find her desirable
Especially
When she’s trying not to be
 
How do I let her know…
That the remembrance of her lips
Her hips
Her laugh
And especially her smile
Leaves me intoxicated
 
How do I let her know…
That when I hear her voice
I find myself centered
Stronger
Yet at peace

How do I let her know…
That words
Will never encompass
All of my feelings
That I now have for her

How do I let her know…
That I’m excited
And overcome with anticipation
To see, breath, and know
All that makes her
So unique and special

And now I’m counting the hours
When I may be in her presence
So I may begin to truly….
“Let her know”.

Closing my eyes
I imagine you
Standing
With your back to me
And doing something mundane  
Like…
Brushing your teeth,
Wiping down a countertop,
Or fixing your hair
As music plays
In the background
And your hips
Sway to the rhythm

As I move closer to you
My hands gravitate
To your waist
Pulling you slightly
Towards me

And as you slowly spin
Around to me
Our eyes lock...
And your arms
Naturally drift
Up and around my neck
Into a dancing position

And as we slowly glide
Around the room
We kiss lightly
As if we are stealing
Each other’s breath

The world feels like
We are walking on air

In real life…
You are just learning
How to ‘dance’ again
While I’m swaying
To the music
That you’ve created within me

And I can’t wait
Till the next time
Where we can
Talk
Smile
Laugh
And Dance
To the music in our hearts

Take my hand…
Sit with me
Under the pale moon light
Hear my voice
Talk with me
In the middle of the night

Take my hand...
Smile with me
See the feelings in my eyes
Laugh with me
Share the joy
Let happiness surprise

Take my hand...
Shed your fears
Find warmth inside my arms
Rest with me
Find your peace
I’ll protect you from all harm

Take my hand...
Tell me your enemies
Pick our weapons from the store
We’ll fight off the demons
Standing back-to-back
So your sheltered from the war

Take my hand...
Dance with me
To the music in our souls
Touch me deep
Inside my heart
And we’ll make each other whole

Take my hand...
Stroll with me
And feel as light as a feather
We don’t need to know
Where this road will lead
Just happy to share it together
