Come Away With Me

As I lay here unable to sleep, lyrics from earlier tonight are stuck in my head; "it's a quarter past one, I'm all alone and I need you now". I glance at the clock, realize it is around that time and I do need you now, not just need but want. Want all of you. I want to curl up against you, to be held by you, to have you kiss my forehead, to hear you tell me to stop my worrying like you do, and to call me honey or baby.

These past few months have been wonderful, learning about each other. Discovering our likes, passions, hopes, and dreams; sharing our pasts, needs, weaknesses, and fears. Finding out we are more alike than we both ever realized. Seizing that connection and understanding, building on that chemistry, and enflaming the spark between us. We both have our own defense mechanisms that frustrate the other completely, but let's not let them damage whatever this is. You are the only one who has ever called me out on mine and made me address them. I in turn have never opened up and been this vulnerable with someone either... 

We have both been let down in our pasts, and must know this is going to be different...I am not those women and you are not those men. My darling, you are precious to me and I would never do anything that would hurt you. Let's just take the chance to see what happens because no matter what at the very least we end up with a close, caring friend for life. 

We are both very busy and have our own complicated lives, I just want the chance to be together for a moment in time, because never knowing and living in a state of wondering "what if" is not something I can do. Life is too short not to grab what happiness and pleasure we can, even if just once. We will always have the happy memories of it. I want time alone from the rest of the world with the man who makes me smile by just thinking about him.  The caring, smart, funny, sexy, and passionate man who causes my mind and body to feel this way. What we have is something that can be experienced and shared together; not an intense buildup that stays bottled up for a lifetime, never to be released. 

My darling dear, it all comes down to this...I am just a lady standing here in front of the man she wants, asking a him to come away with her...
