He will understand,
that I'm afraid
to be alone.
So, he won't ever leave me.
He will understand,
that I'm addicted to ice cream
and rehabilitation is impossible.
So, he will become, for me,
an even greater addiction
for which rehabilitation is an even greater impossibility.
He will understand,
that I don't like secrets
and that I refuse to be one.
So, he won't lie to me
and will drag me;
voluntarily or otherwise
to meet those who matter most to him.
Then I will know,
that in his heart I hold a place.
He will understand
that I'd rather lick my lips
constantly, than wear lip gloss.
So, he will kiss me just as often
to keep them moist.
(You know,
because he's just that considerate.)
He will understand,
that I love Batman,
and superheroes,
hate most comedies
and most romantic films;
phobic of large crowds and parties.
So, we'll spend our nights
on our couch
watching the Batman Trilogy
or some horror or thriller;
with me wrapped in his warm embrace.
He will understand
that I love to cook and to draw
and that I'm good at both.
So, he will develop a big appetite
and critique my sketch books.
He will understand,
that I spoil those I love
So, he will let me
take care of him.
He will understand
that I'm affectionate.
So, he will enjoy my kisses
and love holding my hands.
He will understand
that every dirty edge,
ridged corner and golden blotch
of my personality
is who I am.
So, he will love me for it.
And for a man
who will love me for me
and inspite of me,
I would pluck,
from the the heavens,
a thousand stars.
