I am a heart-full fool all the days of my life–

that my love is love to give

and I’d give it to anyone anytime.

I am not one to refuse joy

or be apprehensive about happiness,

and if I could make it so

I’d enjoy every moment as much as I can;

I’d make myself like a romance novel

with a happy ending, 

or maybe to sit with a stranger or a lover,

to look at them as a look looks the first time,

to speak to laugh to touch–

I want to know you

Really know you

I want to get down with you and dance

and I want to see how different lights

reflect differently when they hit your eyes

and say things like 

This Must Be What A Good Love Feels Like–

I want to get old with you

and put my head on your lap when I’m tired

and know you as you know me and know

that this good love is to know you completely.
