For all his half-hearted kisses

 

For all his half-hearted kisses 

She knows what he likes 

Makes him wait in anticipation 

So he closes his eyes to see Whitney Houston

She imagines he's Cary Grant 

It is good enough; 

It feels like someone wants love

In an illusion of infatuation

 Parted lips and kisses

 Hugs and slow dances 

Sensual awareness 

Feels like love

that is as close as it gets
