my love,

you didn't need the explanation.
but I'm ready surrender to your demands.
though you should know,
you'll need to follow these of mine:


I didn’t need to feel pretty.
I didn't want to hear sweet words.
I didn’t want a one way mirror.

I need to feel valued.
I need to hear honesty.
I need to see sincerity.

so one: I need something so real, I can grasp.


I didn’t like false hope.
I didn’t like waiting.
I didn’t like wasting my time.

I like butterflies in my stomach.
I like patience.
I like paying attention.

now two: I need something everlasting, timeless.


I wasn't into being ignored.
I wasn't into praising your humor.
I wasn't into mandatory coffee in the morning.

I’m into sharing my stories.
I’m into witty banter.
I’m into not talking while we study.

here's three: I need something rooted in chemistry


I didn't care that you've ****** the pretty blonde.
I didn't care that you've got all those zeros in the bank.
I didn't care that you're so "white" and privileged.

I cared about your dad.
I cared about your hard work.
I cared about finding the real you.
that's my only promise.

four: I need you to know your worth, and understand.


I care about my body.
I care about my heart.
I care enough to tell you,

I hated your ocean eyes.
I hated your dumb dancing.
I hated your poison kisses.

because they made me forget,
I love my warm stare.
I love my free spirit.
I love my contradictions.

my last is five: for you to leave me today, don't dare let me cry


remind me your only demand was for me to not love you,
remind me your shallow i's never weighed more than mine,
only then I'll admit ultimately, that you were right.
