Axis

I need someone warm-chested,

Strong,

With arms like walls

And a face that looks good against the sky

I need you to help me onto the roof

To watch the stars

I need you to carry me

To bed when I’m up too late

I need you to lean your head on my knees

And let me rearrange your hair

I need someone who smiles,

Often,

Especially when I can’t keep it together

I need you to take the tunnel of my vision

And lift it away from my eyes

And broaden my sight to a scope that makes me gasp,

“Wow.

  This is special, this is life, and life

  Has meaning when you

  Are the center of my world.”

Show me your tears

Share with me your laughter

You are all I need, already

We just don’t know it yet
