I want you in every way  
not just in body,  
but in rhythm.  
Not just in reach,  
but in intention.

The depths of me light up  
like neon haze  
every time your eyes  
rest on me.

Your gaze?  
It moves like music  
slow and deliberate,  
dripping thick with memory  
and late-night cravings.

You pull me  
into a world that runs slower,  
heavier  
where love takes its time  
and silence says more  
than words ever could.

Come to me, baby.

Come to me slowly,  
like that chopped and screwed groove  
we used to let ride  
through smoky living rooms.  
Low.  
Sweet.  
Come to me with truth  
and the softness of your hands  
when you're not wearing your armor.

Whisper in my ear  
the reasons I’m still the one.  
Tell me why your heart  
still sounds like home  
when it beats next to mine.

Open the parts of you  
you never show.  
Let me in where it’s quiet.  
Where it aches… especially where it aches, baby.

Let me meet you there.  
Let me be the peace  
you never asked for  
but always needed.

Because I’m not just asking for love—  
I’m asking for real.  
For now.  
For something slowed down  
and sealed in bass.  
A love that rides low,  
speaks soft,  
and sounds like  
you and me  
on a looped beat,  
forever chopped,  
never rushed,  
but always felt.
