Idealized Love Nobody Swings You Up Off Your Feet

Nobody swings you up off your feet

or carries you tongue tied 

and kisses you blue

or wakes up at five and holds back a kiss

so that they can cook breakfast

before you awake

and nobody brushes your hair from your eyes

and tells you your beautiful

when you are tired

nobody loves you, never at first

idealized love is always a lie

but if you look at me

and wonder if i’d laugh

at the joke you are saving to tell me tonight

and if you hold back questions

because you are scared

that i might see you’re turning 

things around in your head

and if you looked away

when i took off my shorts

and fixed my bikini

so it wouldn’t fall off

then i love you already

and i hope that you know

that i want you to swing me up off my feet

and carry me tongue tied 

and kiss me all blue

and wake up at five and hold back a kiss

so that you can cook breakfast

before I awake

and that you brush my hair away from my eyes

and tell me i’m beautiful

when I am tired

and even if nobody loves you, never at first

Idealizing love- i don’t care if it hurts...!!!
