When this thing first started it was a mixture
Of cute banter and interrogation.
Little did I know that your words and stimulation
Would penetrate my very walls
I’ve put up to protect from the rest of the men in my history,
Because they had a habit of being a mystery
Of why I couldn’t end up as someone’s wife.
For days you would question why I dated so much.
And all along you had a desire to touch
My curiosity was peaked
Because you reeked of something that seemed so real…
You had this appeal
Of everything I ever wanted in a man.
I told you things, shared with you my fears,
And one day you made me turn the tables just to hear
The words I needed to re-evaluate…
Why I date so many men who don’t deserve my time.
Who told me lie after lie which was such a crime
Of unnecessary solicitation, because they
Didn’t have any obligation to my heart.
Then one day you shared with me,
You really shared with me
How you had a desire
To become more than just my friend.
And I sat in awe on the computer at the other end
Of the country wondering how could this be?
My dream fulfilled of entering a union between you and me,
Then I remember one small thing
That hinders my exuberance.
We have miles and miles which adds in this distance--
Extended long and wide between us.
I got to make you understand
That this wasn’t part of my plan.
I want you more and more each day.
And with each contact I hear you say
That you wish you could reach out and touch me,
Feel me as I look you in your eyes.
It’s no surprise that I fear this may be a mistake,
But this is the chance I’ve got to take
To find my love across one state to another state.
