~Jenuine

I’m sitting here
lights down low
candles all a glow
my stomach is churning
I’m about to go on stage
but not quite yet
it is the before
music is playing
and all I can think about is how much
I want to hold your hand

I wish you were here
These moments that are mine
only mine
I want to share with you
these secrets
stories
sorrows
and songs are mine
have only been mine
but I want to share them

I desire you
not because I need you
I can change my own tires
plunge my own toilet
replace that headlight
walk myself home
pick myself up

but I want you

I want you
to dirty your hands with life along with me
to inspire me and be inspired by me
to walk beside me headlong into the storm, together
to offer your safe hand when I’ve lost my ground
to say goodnight on the same side of the door

I desire you
not because I am anything less than
whole without you
but because
I long for you
I ache for you
I crave you
Body and soul
I want you out of this mirage
and into this life with me
tangible
