I want...

I want to lay in the dark and talk about our deepest, darkest secrets.
I want to caress all your scars and will the pain away.
I want to feel your breath on my neck and shiver from the touch of your lips on my skin.
I want to sit beside you and hold your hand when you feel like the world is keeping you down.
I want to celebrate your accomplishments and be by your side in all you do.

I want to risk heartbreak for you.

I want to wake up next to you in the morning with a smile on my lips and desire in my eyes.
I want for both of us to finally know what it is like to be cherished.
I want for all our differences to melt away and disappear because they don't matter.

I want to know what love is like without pain and disappointment.

I want to tease and laugh with you.
I want you to take out the trash and kill all the bugs.
I want to have dinner waiting for you when you've worked all day.
I want to feel the warmth of your body against mine while I sleep.

I want to feel safe in your arms and for you to feel loved in mine.

I want to giggle while you do bad impressions and make a chihuahua greek.
I want to make you shake your head in amusement and bewilderment every time I bring home another pair of shoes or shriek at a bug.

I want you for my own.
I want to be yours.
I want to be us.
