Can I
Walk with you
Raise grass roots movements with you
Braid your hair
Put your lotion on
Make you smile at a private joke

Can I
Slide my hand under your shirt
Place my palm on your knee
Hold your hand in public
Wash your hair
Tape you up in the back

Can I
Sit on your lap
Nuzzle your neck
Lay on your chest
Entwine my fingers with yours
Walk on the beach

Can I
Cook you breakfast the morning after
Carpool with you to work
Party with you and your boys
Read the comics while you read the sports section
Squeeze oranges with you

Can I
Tease you while you’re on the phone
Seduce you while you drive
Pass gas comfortably and w/o remorse
Pick my nose
Take a shit with the door open

Can I
Rub your back
Listen to you gripe
Watch you grill the Saturday barbecue
Gaze into your eyes
Ask you questions while the game is on

Can I
Be with
You?
