as I get older
I agree more and more with the sentiment that
love is a choice
love is time and effort
more years make us professional forgetters
believe me I will not be able to tell you
what you bought me last christmas
that just means
it is even more of a surprise
when you do the same thing again
lift me from the inside like it’s the first time
you make me want to
do stupid things
dance at midnight
make animal noises out loud
and not always turn the lights on
you make me want to
quit the game of the world,
stay cozy for a year or two or seven
sometimes give up my dignity
(for a few seconds)
to make you laugh like that
and then later
taste a piece of your dignity on my tongue
drawing a second dawn out of you
you with your poems spilling all my favorite words
you make me want to
sprint to the store every sunday morning
and make you a forever
you are the best kind of habit
I’ve been waiting all my life
to waste my time with you
The title of your poem..
The title of your poem, which I enjoyed reading, reminded me of something the late, great Rodney Dangerfield said about an old girlfriend:
'She was so sexy, she got her tongue caught in the toaster making French toast!'
By the way, do you know if you take the letters of your screen name and scramble them, you can come up with the following:
TALL SQUIRREL GIRL = R RL QUALLTIES GIRL
For many men looking for a long-term relationship, a common complaint is 'I meet many women, who like me, are ready to give up the single life and settle down, maybe start a family, but these womens qualities are superficial. Where do I find a woman of substance, a woman with real qualities?' Thank you for giving these men hope that there are women of qualities such as yourself, out there. Take care.
PS - Because I have no self-control, I also was looking at what I assume is your actual name:
MAYA HANSON = AYA HANNSOM!
Whoever is the special man in your life is one lucky guy. Is that how you greet him when you see him? I would love to have a woman say that to me! And from a woman of real qualities too! How lucky can a guy get?
Wanted to let you know one last thing. You might not, for whatever reason , not address that special man in your life by what I came up with by scrambling the letters of your name. If that's the case, I can only say one thing to you MAYA HANSON = AN SHAM ON YA!
