I want you
not like a craving

but a need so deep and vast
that I can’t stop myself from exploring where the edges are

it’s a need to walk through your stories
the tug to know it all

all of your moments, pages, chapters

I want
I need to know every version of you,
past and present characters
roles you’ve tried on
words you’ve tasted

I want for your future
a future so full
so promising
that I’d shine my soul that direction
if it meant that you’d never lose your way

yes my desire is so proud
so arrogant
I believe it’s capable of carrying you

all of your weight

passion is a kind of power
and love isn’t just a verb
it can also be a force

it can drag you down like gravity
it can burn and combust

love can carry any weight
lift you with ease on its current
pull you along like the tide
effortless
guiltless
