Catch You

I want to catch you 
like the flu 
and never take the shot
you'll forever be in my system
because forever is all I've got
to give you 

I would hate to become immune to you
it's seems weird to me 
to not desperately crave you
you give me energy

We vibe off each other
like rain on a solid umbrella 
and I wish you could read my mind
than you'd forever hear me singing
your name in A cappella

I taste you repeatedly like
raw meat and hope your 
love continues to spread
through me like salmonella 
now enough with the infections
I just feel right when were together.
