WHAT I REALLY WANT...
I want to feel safe.
I want to feel that although my partner may not always like me, he will ALWAYS love me and I him.
And I will love him no matter what. I want us to have the freedom to be ourselves.
I want us to be able to look into each other’s eyes and see love there. In the midst of the most heated argument, I still want to know the love is there, always waiting.
I want him to look in my heart and find home. I want him to relax in my arms and KNOW he is home and safe.
I want him to always want to return to me. He may not always be with me, but I want him to want to be.......to want to be with me.
I want to share life with him. The good, the bad, the indifferent. His bed, oh, how I do want to share his bed.
I want to face mornings (and nights) in the shadow of his slow, peaceful breathing.
I want him to awaken to me, I want to be his dream. I want to awaken to him, as my reality.
I want to love and be loved. I want our actions to convey love. I want to seek new ways to say I love you daily.
I want to celebrate the love, the union, the differences.
I want to slay dragons for him. Even when we both know I can't, it will be enough for both of us to know I WANT to.
I want to know that I will do whatever I can to love and protect him.
I want to feel important--that I matter, as does he.
I want to be embraced and feel the warmth of his love on the coldest, darkest days.
I want to know that no matter how bleak the future may seem, it's all manageable because of our strong, determined, dedicated presence in our yesterdays, today’s and tomorrows.
I want to be heard and I want him to hear me. When he thinks he understands and doesn't like what he hears, I want him to explore--to see if what he heard is what I said. I want him to stay when he wants to leave.
I want him to remember the love, mine for him and his for me, in the midst of misgivings.
And I ask he be faithful, monogamous and my forever-last-date as I will be his.
