Let's Be Rational

I'm not a mini-Shakespeare.
I probably won't write you pages of verse.

It's doubtful I'll ever vocalize
how I love your Joker-slash smile
and the way sunlight hits your eyes,
dancing with the yellow lancing through the blue.

I might never say how I love the way
your arms fit 'round my waist,
the same place each time,
or how I live for those car rides
when I hear you sing,
and you think I'm not listening.

I'll never promise you forever.

All I can give is this hour, this night.
All I can say is that right now,
I do love you.
Maybe not in the marriage-and-babies way;
I'm too far up to settle down,
too far free for this small town.

But here and now,
I need you,
I adore you,
I want you.

So here's my proposal:
Just live in the moment with me.
