Let me love you

I want to spend the rest of my life being uncomfortable with you.

I want to go through frustrations,
disappointments,
and life's not-so-little complications,
with you by my side.

I want you to annoy the hell out of me
by simply being human,
and male.

And I beg of you to let me return the favor.


I want to fight with you
and make love to you
until we've exhausted all the tension from our flesh...

rebounding to do it all over again.

And again.
And again.
And again.


And...again.

I want to embrace every aspect of life with you,
to laugh at the wind that takes our tears,
to turn it all over,
upside down,
as we grasp it in our hands,
creating our very own slice of perfect.

I want all of it...
I want you.

I want you,
always.

Always my love.


Always,
always,
always.


Always.



So let me love you.

Author's Note

An honest promise and gift, that often people find difficult to accept.

I love the repetition in this poem. Always is a promise that a lot of people are scared of (like me) but you really embrace it here. I think this comes with knowledge of both good and bad experiences, and knowing that it is all worth it. Also I love how flesh and perfect have the same vowel sound, I don't know if it was intentional but it really unified the whole piece.
Again, thanks for the reviews!

I don't promise him a perfect life, just that I'll love him
