lyrics

#20
"i mean you"

for penny


it's not just a case
of wanting to be in love

as if it didn't matter
just who you are

or the particularities, like
the way you make my blood race,

the certain taste of your skin,
or just how soulful you are

in every way, & how deeply
& completely you understand me

in all the nutty complexity
of my being—it's your intelligence,

your exquisite taste in music,
& the warmth of you i want,

baby, the warmth of you i want
like i've never wanted anyone else

—detroit
