I choose you, Partner,
because I love you
I don't love guessing
I don't trust someone who says, trust me
I don't like getting upset
when my hopes were high
Yet, I like getting my hopes up
I love how softly you catch 'em
I like setting each other up
to score
I like Your
sense of humor. Your eyes. Your body. Your smile
and Your
stupid ass puns
Butt
You are too far away. How I feel about you
would be easier to say
if I could lay my head next to yours
Why don't I pity you? It happens
when my dream of love shatters
Are you bullet-proof?
100% sure of yourself, HERE, NOW, in reality,
refusing to break down to irrationality
irresponsibility. You make me value boundaries
You make me value distance traveled
AND intimacy. I miss you.
Not just the idea of you-
the feel of you, the truth of you
You're the best to ever hold me
You've the kindest words I've ever heard
When in my head I fear I am a broken thing
Fear I cannot love completely, and so I fail to try
You give me reason to love you. I never wonder
why you love me. You tell me
I never wonder if you have more to give, I know
You could go if you want to
I don't.
