To Love You Well

Words remain unexchanged, And desires left unfed. I curl and stretch and burrow. I'm restless in my bed. And letting the days go by Keeps replaying in my head. How can I love you well? I'm drawn to your familiar Like nectar for the bees. And I've become as yielding As the nook behind my knees. And I beg you please don't play me Like fingers on the keys. I want to love you well. But I know the time's not right. The buds haven't bloomed yet tonight. So, I guess I'll just wait 'til the morning, And maybe the sun will be shining bright. The sound of rainfall feels Like your arms wrapped around me. And I remember our first kiss, And how you smiled coyly. You're my favorite distraction, And you're ruining me, As I try to love you well.
