desire

"I want to trace every contour of your body and mind"

-"I want to explore the planes and discover the cliffs of your body. I want to travel the oceans and climb the mountains of your mind. I want to navigate you"

"I want to get into a glorious tangle with you. I want your body heat to warm my slight frame. I want to examine the minutae of your day-to-day routine"

-"I wan your body against mine so I can hear out heartbeat harmonize. I want to hear the taste of sweet nothings on my neck, or feel the sound of nothing sweet on my ears. I want to hear all the words you know, all the connotations you give them."

"I want to take turns reading aloud as we pore over the latest tome, your solidarity helping me past the frightening parts"

"I want you to show me new things, offering me tidbits of fact, fiction, and whimsy as your see fit. I want you to remind me why I'm glad to be alive."

-I want your vigor for literature to intensify the exhilarating parts of the book. I want to make the adventures of these books we read real. I want you to inspire, enable, edit, touch, see, fill, comfort, understand, marvel, and astound: me."

"That's an offer I can't refuse--who am I kidding? YOU'RE an offer I can't refuse."
