translation: me to you

i ask because I am hoping you
will answer yes
i hope yes ties a string around your finger
not too tight
and trails the other end under my door

if so:
people say everyone's got baggage
for we're a travelling people
but this time let's unpack
you show me what you brought
I'll show you what i brought
like kindergarten w/ only playtime
because I think i'll stay a while

for it is less important to me
my life of which i am the center
than the possible i might tiptoe
just inside the borders of your life and be no actor there
and that is why i ask you:
are we one another's passengers?
-----------------------------------
i am glad to see you=i like to look at your legs when you wear jeans
i am glad to see you=i wonder what your bare stomach feel like to touch
i am glad to see you=i don't know why you are in my dreams
-----------------------------------
when i said i miss you
i meant do you mean it when you say i love you?
for love is savage
and your face is etched into the underside of my eyelids
no wonder i dream

when i said i miss you
i meant what would it be like to kiss you
soft like rain
and can we try it sometime?
i don't want to mislead you
maybe when we are old we will wear [blackwatch plaid] together
i miss you
when i say i miss you i mean
let us spend the rest of tonight not knowing
where you end and i begin

okay?
