This Is What I Want

When you wake up in the morning
I want you to reach over and
give me a hug and a kiss
and a big smile
like you're happy to see me
(Like I do when I wake up before you)

When I textmessage you during the day
with all the reasons why I love you
and why I think you are the sun and
the moon and the stars in my world
I want a response other than
'you to, kiss'

When you come home in the afternoon
I want you to smile
like you're happy to see me
and give me a hug and a kiss
(Like I do for you)

when we go through the evening together
I want you to touch me once in a while
sneak a hug and a kiss
and a naughty touch under the sweater
like you want me
(Like I do for you)

And when we go to bed at night
I want you to kiss me with passion
touch me everywhere
(Like I do for you)
and take me
like you want me

Am I asking to much?

Elisabeth, how delicately you have rendered your emotions on this subject of affections shown and expected in return. Do you ask too much? No more than you obviously give my dear friend. Love and peace to you. Jon Michael

The refinement of a shared love as two hearts join, beautiful...

Be always safe,

Not asking too much at all, Elisabeth.
Fine style and presentation, the questions someone in love asks, and if they were asked more often and out loud there might be better communication...you take on the old problem here and there is, too, the Venus and Mars connotation.

Wonderful inquisitive voice in your poem, I think it's a charmer!
Best of luck with that (and more...) ~
Christine

a good example of a straight forward expression of needs...no expectations of mind-readings which can be so exasperating and exhausting

i think sometimes as women we fail to verbalize these needs and expect maybe a kangaroo to think like a frog or a tree to move like a river....then get upset when they don't
