I understand if you would base this on past experiences

And I agree that it does sound rather suspicious

But Im not asking this as a prelude into something else

Its just that I want to be honest with myself

There is no hidden motive and Im not trying to ruin anything

And I understand that these situations can be somewhat tiring

But you should have noticed by now that Im not your standard guy

And I can do a lot of things, play a lot of games but I try not to lie

I try to be honest with you, with me, with us

And in a way this is a simple matter of trust

So before you say no think it through

Don’t call it awkward call it me appreciating you

I want intimacy that exceeds what I usually go through

If I wanted sex I could’ve manipulated the situation to set the mood

But Im hoping that my request wont be misunderstood

I hope youre smart enough to see that to me youre interesting

Its those boring ones that are only good for one thing

I truly get it, you think it’s a step towards a place of nothingness

But if I wanted that I would have gone in for a kiss

I mean … Its just …

Even poets get lonely

Sometimes words aren’t comforting enough

Sometimes every eloquent word is gone and your stuck with stuff

Sometimes being alone needs hug to shake it up

At times sentences feel like they are written without ink

So before you say no, I wanted you to know what I think

We’re alone in bed, under the sheets in the dark

And with a complete lack of any kind of sexual spark

Im asking you to help me, because my mind feels uneasy

My soul feels queasy and my finger tips are itchy

All because Im overcome with anxiety at the possibility

You might say no, but I would hate myself if I didn’t ask

If I let this chance at comforting my pain go

So… this might sound a little weird, but I have something to ask you

Is it ok if I hold you?
