Take me to Paris

Take me to Paris
Bring me to the edge of the world
Take me to the city of lights
Show me the night sky
Lit with love
And the beams of the tower
Stand beneath them with me
Tell me you love me
Tell me the city pales
When you stand beside me
I'll close my eyes when you kiss me
Beneath the tower
I'll move into you
When you point to the endless night
To show me our limits
Take me to Paris
And let's never come home
Let's live and love in Paris
Over cafe tables and cigarette smoke
We can walk down to the river
And dip our toes in a stream of clear blue
Lay out a blanket and place our hearts
And croissants on the checkerboard squares
I'll wipe the crumbs from your lips
If you promise to keep the ants away
Let's run away to Paris
We can dress in all black
And you can slick back your hair
I'll tumble over the cobblestones in the shoes
That bring my eyes level with yours
And we'll keep that look in our eyes
Of wonder, lust, and wanderlust - best of all
When I seek that look I'll see the lights
The tower lights like beams
Raining over the city, a gift from you
To me
Take me to Paris
And let's never leave
I need to know you in Paris
Imagine me and you in Paris
Can you see it?

I'm inexplicably obsessed with Paris this week. Obviously. Just remember that I'm not a poet and I kinda spit this out so you guys would have a reason to come back here because I miss the attention.
