and when you look at me
from across the room
and think i'm the most beautiful thing
you've seen

please tell me that

even if it's not actually true







and when you kiss me
please do it with a passion
that makes global warming
seem like a minor heat







and when you hold me
please hold me tightly
til i almost cannot breathe-

draw me close enough
so that every breath, every inhalation
is scented with you





and when you whisper
"i love you" into my ear
please let it mean just that
and not "i love you;
now change into someone else
for me"





and when we fuck
when you grunt and heave and thrust your way
into my core
please let me roll over and go to sleep



i want you to fuck me til i'm too tired to talk
anyway



and when we fight

please hit me above the belt
and i'll try to do the same for you
and we'll make up, kiss
and fight again












and when you think it won't
work out



please reconsider
