We should just kiss like real people do-*
It's fine if your lips are chapped from the cold ones before me,
And mine are a bit too tight from all the times I've tried to save face.
We might bump noses or hit teeth,
I might laugh and you might blush.
Maybe your hands might shake,
And maybe I'll be too nervous to keep your gaze.
There won't be fireworks or an orchestra to set the mood,
And that's all fine by me so long you just kiss me like real people do.

Hozier' new album is obviously on my mind. I also have gravitated more towards what's natural rather that the grandiose expectations of what people should be and do. We all have these checklists and one day it hit me that maybe I don't even make my own cut. I know my worth and I don't sell myself short, I know what I want and I know what I don't. I also know that humans are imperfect, and having a "checklist" won't lead me to anything but disappointment because I won't meet anyone who can be everything. Rather, I just want to meet someone who understands that we're all wandering around trying to figure it all out and be honest rather than put on a show. I want realness over a perceived perfection.
