Objectified

I understand now
You were looking to become
The object of my desires
Whereas I have only ever searched

For the subject of my desires

Bargain

Time is precious but
I'm fixing to trade twenty
Of the years I had planned for myself
For ten days alone with you and spend

Another twenty bragging about the bargain

Fair Fight

You can do both
But drive me wild
Before you drive me crazy
Let's have a fair fight

Unless you're not man enough

Unlikely

I think it's you
Without even knowing for sure
It just seems too unlikely
That I'll stop thinking about you

Anytime soon

Face

I see your face
Perhaps twenty years from now
Looking different but unchanged
For me it will always appear

As the sum of my best moments

Treasures

Honestly to your body I prefer invitation
I've made no plans for arrival
Beyond not showing up empty handed
Other than that I have no expectations

But I anticipate many hidden treasures

Love and War

I hope this is the part
Where I set down my sword
Hearing through the parting clouds
That peace times approach

I hope to never return to battle
