i want you to take up space in my head

i want you to be incapable of draining my social battery

i want to listen to how your day went

and when we cuddle,
we rant,
until we are passed out,
or until we are making love

i want to be there when you are too exhausted and drained

i want to listen to you when your cranky,
and tell you how great your doing

i want to see how beautiful you are on your "worst" days,

but those days don't exist,
because you are the best kind of yourself

i want you to tell me when too far is too far
and tell me when something feels uncomfortable

i want to do the same
i want to embrace our differences

and experience a glimpse of how you enjoy the world,
because ill never know

because im not you
but talking to you gives me a lense into your universe

where so many unexplored joys exist
that ive never seen

show me what makes you happy
and let us be us,
without shame,

let our miscommunications turn into humor and understanding,
and not a tally

lets take accountability
without dismissal

lets normalize our mistakes and learn from them,
and look back at how much weve grown

let's grow each other's flame,
and not blow each other's out

and never, ever, use love as a justification
