I just want some affection...
Don't necessarily need love or a chemical connection...
Just some form of protection in the here and now
Via ya arms, ya body encircling mine - i don't really care how...
Affection...in the physical form or by way of words
I'm cryin', dyin' to be heard - tell me you hear me...
Come near me and comfort me when i'm weary.
These days, with the ways of the world and society...
From you, I need calmness, attentiveness, propriety...
Give and receive, live and believe
In a life of you and me living blissfully...
A life of your affection
And of mine towards you...
Because all we both need...is affection.
My homegirl calls what u're talking about MA (male attention). We alll need that in our life (for me it would be FA). Its so crucial. You ever notice people who don't get it get all antsy and crazy?
that poem reminds me of something that should be recited during a poetry slam in a jamaican club...just the whole rhyme scheme of it. it was beautiful.
