Before I Jump Out The Window

What’s your major?

What’s your sign?

What are your plans for the future?

Do you deal with things daily or do you leave them all behind?

Do you plan to have a family?

If so, how many babies?

Do you like a challenge? How do you attempt it?

Speedy like the hare or like the tortoise, slow and steady?

Do you smoke or drink?

Would you mind if I did?

Would we argue over what to watch on Netflix?

If so, I’m fine with whatever you pick.

If we hung out and I kept staring at your lips,

Would you let me go in for a kiss?

Would you react with a fist?

Or let me go in for a second split of bliss and taste the sweet trace of honey that caresses your spit?

Would you judge me for my past even when I have a valuable reason?

Judge me for my character when loving someone on my end is a strength

And giving them my heart is a weakness?

What are some of the things you cherish?

Are you close with your parents?

Do you have any siblings?

Would they despise me for my appearance?

If I said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?

What are your views on Faith? Do you believe in Destiny?

If you told me a couple of secrets,

Would you trust me enough to keep them?

Would you let me cheer you up after you’ve had a terrible day?

Let me wipe the set of tears that roll down your angelic face?

Would you let me fight alongside you in any battle you have going on inside?

Be offended if I wrote about you, something sensual and vivid

That would create beauty in your mind?

Would you say my feelings aren’t real when all you have to do is look me in the eyes?

Would you be scared of getting close due to the heartbreaks that happened before?

Confide in me with your baggage

When we both easily have them overstuffed with clothes?

If I told you, you’re all I’ve been thinking about would you call me a liar?           

Or be mad at me due to the fact that I can’t even deny it?
