I Want You ‘Now’
Now, here, next to me!
I don’t want you to come tomorrow. I don’t want you to tell me what time you’ll come.
I want you to come in the night and ring the doorbell, suddenly, when I’m asleep.
Without me knowing it!
Unexpectedly!
To come and ring the bell and as I would open the door half asleep and startled you’ll slip under my blankets and I would never wake up until morning and in your arms.
I want to wake up and smell the fragrance of your cologne when you shave in the bathroom.
You’ll kiss me as you leave and I shall go back to the unravelled bed sheets. I’ll hear the door close behind you I’ll smile as if I’m in a dream, while I would still be asleep.
And when I get up hours later not to know whether it was a dream or reality that I dreamed or I truly experienced all this.
