This Type Love
Saul Williams
I want a love like, me thinking of you thinking of me thinking of you type love.
Or me telling my friends more than I've ever admitted to myself
About how I feel about you type love.
Or hating how jealous you are,
But loving how much you want me all to yourself type love.
Or seeing how your first name just sounds so good next to my last name.
And shit,
I wanted to see how far I could get without calling you
And I barely made it out of my garage.
See, I want a love that makes me wait until she falls asleep,
Then wonder if she's dreaming about us being in love type love.
Or who loves the other more or...
What's she doing at this exact moment or...
Slow dancing in the middle of our apartment to the music of our hearts,
Closing my eyes and imagining how a love so good
Can hurt so much when she's not there, man.
Shit, I love not knowing where this love is headed type love.
And check this... I want to place those little post-it notes all around the house
So she never forgets how much I love her type love.
And not have enough ink in my pen to write all the things
I love about her type love.
And hope I make her feel as good as she makes me feel type love.
And I want to deal with my friends making fun of me
The way I made fun of them
When they went through the same kinda love type love.
Only difference is this is one of those real love type loves.
And just like in high school, I wanna spend hours on the phone not saying shit.
And then fall asleep and then wake up with her right next to me
And smell her all up in my covers type love.
And I want to try counting the ways I love her
Then lose count in the middle just so I can start over again.
And I wanna celebrate one of those one-month anniversaries
Even though they ain't really anniversaries,
But doing it cause it only makes her happy type love.
And check this, I want to fall in love with the melody the phone plays
When her numbers dialed into it type love,
Then talk to you until I lose my breath
She leaves me breathless,
But with expanding my lungs I inhale all of her back into me.
I want a love that makes me need to change my cell phone calling plan
To something that allows me to talk to her longer
'Cause in all honesty, I wanna avoid one of them high cell phone bills type love.
And I want a love that makes me regret how small my hands are.
I mean the lines on my palms don't give me enough time to love you
As long as I'd like to type love.
And I want a love that makes me stu-stu-stu-stutter
Just thinking about how strong this love is type love.
And I want a love that makes me want to cut off all my hair -
Well maybe not all of it.
Maybe like I cut the split ends and trim my mustache
But it would still be a symbol of how strong my love is for her.
I kinda feel comfortable now
So I even be fantasizing about walking out on the green light,
Just dying to get hit by a car just so I can lose my memory,
Get transported to some third world country just to get treated and,
Somehow meet up again with you
And fall in love with you in a different language
And see if it still feels the same type love.
I want a love that is unexplainable as she is,
But I'm married. So she's gonna be the one I share this type of love with.
