Tell Me Again

I want to hold your hand like we're five years old and I'm sneaking a kiss on the cheek behind the twisty slide where the playground monitor can't see us.
I want to flirt with you like I'm still in high school and I have no idea that the lines I'm using were used by my dad a few millenia ago when my parents were dating.
I want to reach out to you like there are a million people in this room but you're only looking at me.
I want to carry you in my arms like a superhero rescuing the love of his life from a plummet of unimaginable height.
I want to hold you like my arms can keep out the world and melt all your fears.
I want to kiss you like my lips can keep in the tears and fix the pain in your heart.
I want to dance with you like every song ever written was for us.
I want to lie with you on the couch like tomorrow will never come and there's only your soft breathing and your heart beating against my chest.
I want to talk to you like I'm a semi-normal human being who knows how to use his words properly without tripping over them or spitting on himself.
I want to walk into your room like I'm coming home and there is no question about where I belong.
I want to tell you I love you like it's for the first time and hear your breath catch.
I want to be your best friend until my last breath like God couldn't help but put us together.
I want you to tell me again that you will be mine for forever and always.
Now I want you to tell me again.
