All the steps I take
for your comfort
I do without complaint.
You deserve my love
and attention,
you shall not have to wait.
May my efforts sustain you
and this commitment
be your protection.
I’ll keep you from harm,
ensuring your growth.
And I’ll rise to meet you.
When I make the effort
to dig deep
into who you are,
know you are loved.
In awe,
inspired,
captivated,
interested,
dazed,
uplifted.
Yes, in love with your being.
I’ll align myself
up close,
breathing in your talent
and exhaling
knowledge and pride.
You’ve won my heart.
The gift of time, effort, and quality is love.
Intimate sincerity landing softly in the heart.
I’m not receiving what you think you’re giving.
Maybe you don’t understand what love is?
Maybe I don’t know how to receive it?
Maybe I expect too much?
Maybe you don’t give enough?
Maybe I was wrong?
soothe an ache
hold my hand
watch me sleep
rub my back
make me laugh
be with me
talk to me
play with me
dry my tears
keep me warm
listen to me
don’t be arrogant
kiss my lips
really know me
get me soup
touch without expectation
ease my sorrow
hug my soul
cry with me
dance with me
please be vulnerable
make eye contact
forgive my failings
care for yourself
sex me right
cook us dinner
walk with me
don’t lie, ever
read to me
hold me close
silence my demons
reach into me
never leave me
There’s comfort as I bathe in your loyalty.
I can count on your faithfulness to the script we are writing.
This love story of commitment and devotion is like none other.
I adore your dedication to our cause.
I can depend on you, my reliable partner.
You’ve been steady, for the most part.
True to me, for the most part.
A constant when the world wasn’t.
My staunch champion, solidly there for me.
I think you can be trusted.
You healed my past, dears.
You are present and intense.
My future is clear.
Reaching in you’ll see it’s hard to find me.
I’m a discovery to be accessed when my psyche is at ease.
When I see you mean me no harm,
I’ll surround you like quicksand.
You’ll be immersed, enveloped by who I am.
You haven’t even begun to uncover what I want to give you.
