I Like You

Nurture me like the sky nurtures my soul

Allow me to breathe in the dust

trust me

gold will stream out from my exhale

my lungs expand at the emanation of your perfume

You are what I am looking for

what I crave

Your smile

your eyes

and the way leaves and soft moss are pressed in

forming the perfect color of steeped green tea

I feel jealous

You are so brave

so tall

You are able to view the horizon beyond the sky's limit

I want to see what you see

Sit me on your shoulders

Help me touch the stars

trust that I will paint them gold with all the dust I've been collecting

waiting for you
