Oh dear Happy Fireman, you are my muse.

[inevitable]

I do not want to know you today.
Not your colors or your emotions or your heart
I do not care about your past or your future goals,
save those for the women
with their lists and prerequisites,
with their career driven, goal oriented, unyielding lives.

I do not want to piece you together,
you are not my puzzle, nor my game.
I will not uncover, reveal, or search for your flaws, your weaknesses

But let us lay here
In patience
and I will listen to your heartbeat.
I can feel your eyes turn toward me even though mine seem closed.
No, I do not want to know you today, but rather tomorrow and the next day and forever.
