Are you ready
I wonder if you are ready
to be loved the way I love
completely, ardently, tenderly
are you ready to share
all of you with me, your body
your thoughts,your feelings,
your past, present and future?
I would never hold you back
or ask anything from you
but to be loved above all others
to have first place in your heart
you could pursue your freedom
I don't have to understand
everything you do or say
though I'd strive to
I would love you, just as you are
be yourself in every way
all I want is love given to me
as deep and as complete
as mine will be for you
are you ready for the concern
each day of someone who cares
about everything that touches you
who surrounds you with her gentleness
and wisdom in words and touch?
can you tell me all and then
listen to my thoughts and suggestions?
I know how to hold you tight
and how to hold you with a loose hand
may I smother you sometimes
with my warm intense affection
and then wander a distance away
to spend time in undisturbed solitude?
are you ready for something,
someone, different from all you've known?
are you ready to be loved by me?
