Time

It is all I ask of you,

probably all that I will ever ask for.

I want you to spend it with me;

all of you, all mine in a moment

or moments, if you want to.

If it's too much to ask, then at least give me physical contact.

I want your eyes to look my way,

hands to touch and hold me,

a fragrant scent that drowns me,

warm whispers into my ears.

If it's too much to ask, then at least give me conversation.

I want to exchange witty lines with you,

talk about farm puns and how they're so corny.

Let us make some sense out of small talk,

and argue about the silliest things in the world.

If it's too much to ask, then at least give me presence.

I want to lay beside you,

or sit beside you if you prefer that.

I promise not to stay too close,

that's if you like the empty space around you, too.

If it's too much to ask, then at least let me think about you.

I want to stop for a minute everyday,

who am I kidding? I actually meant an hour or two;

Let me wonder how you are

what's making you smile these days?

My time in this world

is all that I own

I will give it to you

I just want you to want it, too.

Spending quality time is my love language. Simply put, it's the best way for me to feel most loved. It's also my best way of showing affection towards someone I care about. Other love languages are gifts, physical touch, words of affirmation, and service. Each love language is unique and beautiful in its own right (this, coming from someone who finds every expression of love as beautiful).You must be really special to me if and when I can drop anything I'm doing to spend some time with you.
