You Don't Have to Understand

I wish you could love me with no understanding

And touch and feel me with no questioning

And could you not judge me

I do want you to neither try to change me

Nor give up on me

Desire, love, touch but not sadden me

Do not try to take possession of myself in this way

What if you were like me and I were like you

How is it possible for this love to confront absence from one another?

I need you to remember how and why I love you

Remember those days when we made love passionately

Love has a unique requirement of politeness

It is not to be rough and wild

I want you to love me as I am, not to try to change me

You don't have to understand

It's not a power struggle, let it be so

And remember there is no winner in love
