Talk To Me Nicely

Baby,

I know I could be direct.

Telling you what I want.

Guiding us to what’s next…

I should slow my roll..

I need to let go of the wheel.

Pay more attention to how you feel

And, focus on what’s real..

Staying away from things I can’t control.

Let me support you and love you

In the way that you need.

Let me provide the air,

So when you take a deep breath

You feel like you can breathe.

I’ll talk to you nicely.

Pay attention to the cues.

I’ll let those be the clues

Showing me what to do.

I’m interested..

I want to know,

What’s been on your mind?

How my mind gets tired

With thoughts of you, running mine.

I’ll do that with discipline.

Remain swift,

Speak to your soul.

Let it talk to mine…

In languages only we know.

Talk to me.

I’ll be soft in my approach.

Listen with intent.

Take advantage of every single minute

Of time that we spend.

I’ll give you all of me.

I’ll be sweet, kind, and mindful.

And cater to your soul

Making it effortless for you,

Without me even trying to.

I’ll talk to you nice.

I’ll speak lightly,

Stand next to you.

Only step into places I’m invited

Inside, if your invite is extended to…

Me.

I promise I’ll do it right.

Politely, I’m likely

To speak to your soul.

And it might be…

The best thing you’ve felt…

In this life…we

Just need to – talk to each other.

Nicely.
