Love Me First

‘May I have your words? May I have your words?’ is not what I heard
May I have your heart, your precious smile? Come lay with me awhile

But I am uncomfortable with you waiting so quietly
Patiently, I’ve got to hear you speak what you think of me

This is love, not that I love you
This is love, that you look and move toward me
It’s hard to believe, not that you would love me too, but love me first

I make me up, I laugh and charm to bring out what’s more lovable to people
But I wake down more than I wake up
You wake with me no matter what I look like
No matter what we’ve come to

This is love, not that I love you and I’m doing so much for you
This is love, you look and move toward me longingly wanting me
It’s hard to believe, not that you would love me too but love me first

You loved me before I could say I’m worth your time
You loved me before I could prove myself to you
You followed through like you know I’ve been left before
You assure me and reassure

I finally stop my lyrical forms and you’re beckoning, ‘Come to me, now, come to me’
My favorite thoughts and memories they cadence you

My love, know that I held you quietly but faithfully
And I lift you up if you choose to run to me and the pleasure is mine
My darling, I lead and with grace you’ll move so close to me
Find love with me Find love with me
Love with me
Love me
