i heard from a young age i wasn't affectionate

in my house there were no kisses

my brother and i consistently fought

and screamed blatant disrespect

but i knew he loved me

i could look in your eyes and feel that certain connection

no one ever had to say nothing

but now that im older i gotta hear it

i want to feel it

i want it to mount up with wings

and carry me

let me look down on the world around me

i want to feel the breeze through my hair

as i hold on to this love that is carrying me

i want to smell its fragrance

wear it on me like the most expensive perfume

taste it in my mouth like its food

using my napkin to wipe away its juices

flush it with some water and let it sit in my belly

i want to dance with love

letting the vibrations feel my whole body

like i was dancing in the spirit

hopping skipping around

with the warmest brightest smile you would ever see

i want love to whisper in my ear

and give me goose bumps as big as chicken poxs

i want love to no longer be silent!!
