Can we cuddle tonight?
snuggle in front of the fireplace
you can come over
we'll lay on my sofa
I'll massage your neck while we embrace

Maybe we can watch Love and Basketball
your favorite DVD
or watch reruns of Martin on TV
enjoy a romantic night of intimacy

We can kiss and caress without getting undressed
I enjoy sex but I don't want us to go there yet
I want us to take our time and build a relationship based on trust
not sex or lust
because I'm slowly coming to believe that you are my soul mate
and anything worth having is worth the wait

You and I have been dating for awhile now
and when I first saw you smile
it felt like warm sunrays melting away the ice from my cold heart
I never thought I could love again after my divorce
but I often find myself missing you when we're apart

I enjoy our open and honest communication
and we both realize that it's not wise
to build a house on a cracked foundation
which is why we're always open and honest
because we both believe that trust is the basis
of any meaningful relation

So can we cuddle tonight?
Let's lay on the sofa with our clothes on
we don't have to get naked to build a bond
let's cook dinner together
and afterwards slow dance in the living room
to our favorite love songs

I'm not trying to rush into sex
and lust might provoke us if we both got undressed
so let's just cuddle tonight
because I get more pleasure from you just laying your head on my chest

My last relationship taught me lessons
and I don't want us to rush into making love too soon
I've learned that a lasting relationship has to begin in the mindroom
before it enters the bedroom

Right now our friendship is purely platonic
even though there is a physical attraction
I don't want sex to become a distraction
I'm seeking something more meaningful than sexual satisfaction

I want to become your best friend
I want to prove that I'm not like those other men
who hurt you in the past
lied to you and hid their ulterior motives
just to get a piece of ass

Nothing worth having ever comes to quick or easy
and I promise when we make love
that I won't cum too quick or easy!

I'm not trying to rush into sex
and I don't want our relationship to end like it did with my ex

I don't want my next marriage to lead to divorce
So let's take it slow before we begin to have sexual intercourse

I'd rather have you as a friend for a lifetime
than risk losing our friendship after a night stand
because in you I see a friend for life
a potential wife
I want to take time and court you
before asking to be your man

So can we cuddle tonight?
I need someone to hold when nights get cold
I like the way we prepare meals together
I like the way our friendship feeds each others soul

I value quality over quantity
all I need is one good woman
because I value in monogamy
I want to fall in love again
not because I miss the sex
but simply because I miss the cuddling and intimacy

Right now we're just close friends
snuggling for warmth in an affectionate embrace
Can we cuddle tonight
when you come over to my place?
