the way that you listen to people
with such interest and pure adoration
makes me jealous
will you turn
and look at me that way?
can i ask for that piece of you?
can i ask
to have your eyes on me
your hands
to feel your adoration
like a warm blanket on a cold morning?
can i ask
for you
to cover me with something new
to step into the deep end
give me a breath from your lungs
save me from sinking?
can i ask you
for it all?
for coffee in the early mornings
late night movie marathons
yarn shopping and
soup making?
love
can
i?
