This type of love

I want a love like me thinking of you thinking of me thinking of you type of love
Or me telling my friends more than I?ve ever admitted to myself of how I feel about you type of love
Or hating how jealous you are but loving how much you want me all to yourself type of love
Or seeing how your first name just sounds so good next to my last name
I wanted to see how far I could get without calling you and I barely made it outta my garage
See I want a love that makes me wait until she falls asleep and then wonder if she?s dreaming about us being in love type of love
Or who loves the other more
Or what she?s doing at this exact moment
Or slow dancing in the middle of the apartment to the music of our hearts
Closing my eyes and imagining how a love that felt so good could just hurt so much when she?s not there.
Sh** I love not knowing where this love is headed type of love

And check this
I wanna place those little post-it notes all around the house so she doesn?t have to guess how much I lover her type of love.
Not have enough ink in my pen to write all the things there is to love about her type of love.
And hope I make her feel as good as she makes me feel.
I wanna deal with my friends.......making fun of me the way I made fun of them when they went through the same kind of love type love.
Only difference is..this is one of those real love types of love.
And just like in high school....i wanna spend hours on the phone not saying sh **........And then fall asleep.........And then wake up...........With her............Right next to me....And smell her all up in my covers type of love.

And I wanna try counting the ways I love her and then loose count in the middle just so I have to start all over again.
I wanna celebrate one of those one month anniversaries............even though they ain?t really anniversaries but doing it just cuz it makes her happy type of love.

Check this:
I wanna fall in love with the melody the phone plays when one of us dials into eachother type of love.
Talk to you until I loose my breath
She leaves me breathless.
But with the expanding of my lungs, I
Inhale all of her back into me.
I want a love that makes me change my cell phone calling plan to something that allows me to talk to her longer
Cuz in all honesty I wanna avoid one of those high phone bill types of loves.
I want a love that makes me regret how small my hands are......
I mean the lines on my palm don't give me enough time to love you as long as I?d like to type of love.
And I want a love that makes me st..st..st.s..sttutt..stutter just thinking about how strong this type of love is.
And I want a love that makes me wanna cut off all my hair.....well maybe not all the hair.
Maybe I cut the split ends and trim my moustache but it would still be a symbol of how strong my love is for her.

I kind of feel comfortable now..
So I even be fantasizing about walking out on a green light just dying to get hit by a car
Just so I could loose my memory, get transported to a 3rd world country. To get treated
And somehow meet up with you again so I could fall in love with you in a different language and see if it still feels the same type of love.

I want a love that's unexplainable as she is.
But I'm married.......so she's gonna be the one I share this love with.

they do sell a video. but they probably don't have the one you want. what they think is the best and sell isn't always what you like ya know? but yeah. i'm gonna get it i think. i just love hearing them.

and if any of this sounds weird when you read it and you think how you have to see a guy saying this to understand (him cutting his hair cuz he has this outrageous fro) it's this poem was for a preformance on hbo so a lot of it makes sense when you see him say it. i just listened to the audio i had and typed out everything he said.

this is just one of my favorite ones but there are sooo many and they are all so stellar that it's amazing.
