New

by Kristina

I wanna stay up late

Watch you get to know yourself

Show you what it is like to be loved

Unlike anything or anyone else

I wanna be honest and open

Vulnerable and raw

Share a dream, a fear, a hope

Anything at all

I want to give you passion

That your entire body feels

So good you are beside yourself

Questioning if it’s real

I wanna spend the extra

Five minutes in the morning

Tracing your face with my fingers

While you lay there snoring

I want you to need me

Without losing yourself

Come to me in times of pain

And I’ll be there to help

I want to offer relief

So soft, so sweet

I want your misery to subside

The moment our lips meet
