WISHING YOU WOULD

Taking my hand as we stroll along the sand by the gentle waves on the shore

Or holding open the door on our first date, your other hand a warm touch

Guiding me through by the small of my back

Will you be the gentleman I will forever adore?

Playfully tickling or just simply brushing the hair out of my eyes

Whether being sidekicks or the closest of confidantes

Oh, how I wish you would

Hold me and take me to yet unimagined places, even if only in our minds

Quilting your history through both cyberspace and cell phone waves

Cuddling close at the movies or grabbing an ice cream cone at the boardwalk

But it must be my imaginings, seeing your layers peeling to reveal someone unknown to me

Yes, I wish you would

Whisper words of support as easily as your latest sexual fantasy

Showing your consideration despite any exasperation

Knowing there’s nothing I’d deny the “REAL” you

Standing before you; pleading

I wish you would

Look at and not through me

These words I carefully pour into your inner ear are touching down without so much as a single sound

But please do not mistake my desperation for your sincerity as fear

Your own self-loathing having you foaming at the mouth

That once so gently rained a torrent of sweet kisses

Still, I wish you would

Look into the mirror I am that only reflects the best of you

But alas, too easily your rock solid foundation crumbled

Like so much of the finest sand through these outreaching fingertips

Are you still here?  Do I have any chance of finding you again?

Nevertheless, I wish you would

Attempt to rediscover the “you” I once knew

And yet the hands that once endlessly caressed are now clenched into fists?!?

You are really about to bring out this here BITCH!

As you unbelievably contemplate giving me a knuckle sandwich?!?

Boy!  I WISH YOU WOULD!!!!
