In Simplistic Terms

I want the Bay Area again. 
I want black coffee
And your arms around me.
I want us drunk on dark beer
Or red wine and fresh bread
Laying in a park nearby
Tipsy on each other’s company. 
I want the way we understand
Each other in awkward
Social situations
And loving each other
All the more for it. 
I want the way we express
How we feel in simplistic terms.
I want your hands. 
I want to erase the space
Between your face and mine
As we give each other the power
To stop time, if only for a few
Precious moments. 
I want your heartbeat on my ear
As the only timepiece
I will ever need. 
As I have wanted nothing else:
I want you.
