PRECIOUS MOMENTS

I don’t want to disturb you
but
I would like to take some time
to say
just how fond I am
of you
and wish
that I could know you
better
than the constructs between us allow.

I would like to have deep conversations
with you
at varied times
with differing positions.
I would like to know
all about your views
on the parrot
or Poirot
and pierce all the other mysteries
I have yet to uncover.

I don’t want to get in the way
of your day,
but I’d like you to understand
how long I’ve waited for this moment
– so long as it doesn’t creep you out.

I want to find a way
to breach our distance
and become something much closer
than we are.
I want to experience something special
– that I have not yet found
with anyone –
with you.

I hope you will allow it.
I hope you will take of me
what you will
and
I hope you don’t call the Pigs.
