If I could only win your heart
by running naked through a room
of religious figures
and our government's leaders,
I would.
If I could only win your heart
by sitting on your front porch,
plucking romantic tunes on my guitar
while singing, possibly off key,
because that's how nervous I'd be,
I would.
If I could only win your heart
by tossing my bad habits
and past mistakes into a wooden box,
burying it deep into the ocean floor,
and never looking back,
I would.
If I could only win your heart
by secretive whispers,
friendly tickles,
gleaming smiles,
and seductive touches,
I would whisper poems into your ear.
I would tickle you with my nose.
I would smile with my teeth exposed.
And I would touch you, so passionately,
that you would never want me to go.
