i want you there
when i'm showering
your warm skin
next to mine
the cold water overhead
dampening every inch
of our bare bodies
i want you there
when i'm crying
because i don't know
who or what to trust
your tender forefinger
wiping away the
misguided tears of
my lack of trust
your goofy smile
in between your dimples
vanishing my worries
as reality ebbs
for a frozen moment
i want you there
when i'm flinging
my flightless body
from this cliff
into an unknown abyss
hoping as i near
the bottom that you'll
catch me like we've
promised we'd do
for each other
i know you're there
waiting to catch me
in your arms
i want you there
i hope you're there
