7 to 9 love


Our love only occurs between 7 to 9 
The time you get out of work 
and I'm on standby 
Like a cellphone waiting for signal
 I wait for you to get out of work
 so that I can breathe again 

 and feel the caress of your skin and no! 
Skype is no substitute! 
I kiss the screen it's not the same 
as the feeling of your lips against mine 
 Not to mention the tingles 
and the jingle in my head 
the words without the tune
 without the headspace that it takes to
 intersect your world and mine
 two heads, one time 
all must happen between 7 and 9 

 We must dissect the day 
and breakdown the hours 
What did you do? 
and did you think of me while you were doing it? 
Do you miss me? Like I miss you?
 Or am I just a girl? worried about you?

 And how do I look?
 Waiting for you to notice 
I can tell if you give me a compliment 
 The time I spent picking out this outfit 
and the nails to match and my toes too 
No, it's not effortless 
No, I'm not superman
 Disappearing in a phone booth 
and changing within seconds on the clock 

 No, honey I take longer 
But I promise it will be worth it
 My goal is to make your jaw drop 
Or at least get a smirk
 Not a frown 
Because my gown is too long 
or my skirt is too short 

No, I am a woman 
and you are my man 
and love and time is something to balance 
 always
 I love you and that's all I really know
 trying to get used to this 7 to 9 love
maybe when we're married I'll see you more

Oh shit! It's 5! Gotta wait 2 hours to show you this poem
7 to 9 love
This is the 7 to 9 love
 My 7 to 9 love 
 And Still I Love You
