if you find yourself lonely in your bed, this is me letting you know that my bed is yours too. 2. if you miss the sound of my voice, the feel of my hair, the warmth of my skin, please, oh please, come to my door, give me a call, send me a letter, proclaim your love and proclaim it again! 3. if he wanders (and he will wander), let him. trust that he will come back. 4. if (as always) you become overwhelmed by the intensity of your love for him, let him know. he will laugh and pretend to know and brush it off— understand that he listens to every word and needs to hear each exaltation of adoration. even if he doesn’t seem to care. trust that he does. 5. if he wakes up and needs to run to be alone, let him go— he’ll come back. trust that he will come back. 6. if he doesn’t contact you for a while after he has upset you, don’t get upset— he just gets scared when he’s hurting you and doesn’t know how to fix it. be patient with him— he’s told you to be. 7. be patient, be patient, be patient. be patient.
