Connect

I've known you for quite some time
but have only met you face to face once
for a brief weekend
that will live in my memory for a while

you are kind, gentle, and fun
you are all that i'm not
the life that you've lived in completely different from mine
i've said i'm liberal, but am i as liberal as i need to be to be with you

you've done so much crazy things in your life
you're younger than me
and you have a gift, that anyone would die for
your eyes pierce my soul, your smile sends a jolt through me, and your lips tease me with the promise of a passionate exchange

we have connected
there is a connection between us
but how long will it last
could we sustain this for a lifetime

you've made so many promises
do you mean them
am i the dream that you've dreamt for so long, to no avail
or were you just mindlessly chattering, trying to boost my ego

i've never noticed i was one of the beautiful people until you told me
i'm on your level
but somehow all my past hurts and ego bruises have kicked me down so many notches
are you willing to build me up again

would our children be beautiful, sensitive, and caring?
could you turn from your craziness and be the stable one i've been needing in my life
are you the one i've been waiting to connect with
or am i just dreaming, so lonely that any alternative looks more promising than eternal loneliness

i've decided to give you a chance
to build more than just a connection with you
but to start a foundation
because hopefully through a strong foundation, we could continue to connect for a lifetime of happiness
