Asking, for love

Able to breath for the first time in weeks,
lost that hard knot of pain
that had crusted around my heart,
and my god---have i missed you dear.
Oh, i know you're reeling,
know I've asked one hell of a lot,
and it's a little hard to believe
everything I've said.
But I'm not asking for me---
at least not all for me.
I'm not going to lie,
and say that it will be simple.
I'm not saying that you won't hate me
if you say yes
or that you won't hurt plenty
because I know I will.
But I need you...not just anyone...you.
We've both stood in the same spot,
both felt that amazing bolt or warm velvet love
wrap around us in an instant,
and yes.
We both love.
And that is what I am asking for.
asking, for love.
Please?
