Love You Like

Can you believe 
we were put on his earth 
like Adam and Eve. 
We were made for each other. 
I want to love you like 
the romantic couples 
in any of the Hollywood movies 
you care to name.
Like the crazy insane 
and the untamed 
like Tarzan love Jane. 
I want to love you like 
there’s no one else to blame. 

I want our love story 
to go down in history 
like happily ever after. 
As we re-write the next chapter 
in the Hall of Fame, 
with me screaming your name.

I wanna love you like 
Barack loves Michelle Obama 
with an impossible love 
like it’s the easiest thing to do. 
And before I’m through, 
I will have swim 
the ocean of your love 
and going down like the Titanic. 

I want to love you like 
going through hell and high water 
is what I gladly do every day. 
I want to love you for all the reasons 
people fail 
to love each other. 
I want to love you like 
the old songs 
of the Captain & Tennille.
(Love will keep us together,)
(Do that to me one more time.)
And with this poem 
(I write the songs.)
