I need more

I need more than brief text conversations to hold me over until the next time we meet

Just for random bedroom visits attempting to be discreet

How are we supposed to build a foundation with nothing being brought to the table

Not leaving room for growth, feelings slowly being disabled

I long for late night phone calls learning each one of your desires

Time together getting to know what we require

Discovering what makes you smile

Seeing if our compatibility is worthwhile

Even though it’s been a few months, it just hasn’t been enough to sustain

I can’t tell if outside of the physical we hold enough to maintain

I need more of you

To give me something to hold onto

Something to look forward to

Promises of a future to ensue

I need you to be there for me as a man should

I need you to go above and beyond just as for you I would

I need just a little more compassion and attention

To be able to release all of this built up tension

I get tired surviving this cold world alone

Yes, I am used to handling everything on my own

But sometimes it’s nice to have a break from independence

Relief from the weight of the world and its persistence

This routine is getting too comfortable, losing its passion

Now even time spent is being rationed

I just can’t continue at this rate, disregarding my needs attempting to make due

I need more of you
