I used to wish you'd write sappy poems about me
and dream about me
and want to be with me
but I think
for you to be in love with me
would be out of character,
like Sherlock falling for John,
or Darcy and Elizabeth getting
together on the first try.
I don't want you to be out of character-
I want you to be YOU,
with or without me,
and that's enough.
you're wonderful as you are.
