correction

I don't feel like
being politically correct
politics always has hidden agendas
and I prefer to keep my desires
in plain sight
I am unashamed of the truth
so there's no need to withhold
what it is that I am feeling
waiting for the right time

time only complicates things
though those in the know
say that it heals all things
which proves to me
that nobody really knows
what the hell they are talking about
there is a design
in the way you think of me
in the way you speak to me
with each word floating
another layer over love

and I imagine that you understand
the sacrifices we make
to let go at least a little
of the hold on selfishness
that in the end never serves
the one who is clutching it tightly
can we learn what it takes
to share mutual respect
and leave obligations behind
for long enough at least
to be satisfied
just this once by love...

if that is possible
let me show you what I know
I realize, it's probably not
half of what I'm sure
you can show me
I am tired of this restlessness
and ready to settle in
to the long awaited space
that fills your heart
