I deserve a good morning text every morning you wake up with me on your mind, not by your side.
And if I’m neither on your mind nor by your side,
I deserve a sweet goodnight.
I deserve someone who isn’t constantly reminding me of the imperfections and insecurities I have no problem struggling with when I’m alone, even if it is “just a joke.”
I deserve someone who wants to study every photograph I’ve ever taken until their eyes grow weary.
I deserve someone who asks what I’m writing, even if it is just a one word scribble on a sticky note.
I deserve answered calls.
I deserve beautiful nicknames and extravagant hellos.
I deserve flowers on my doorstep when I’ve had an awful day.
I deserve words when they’re needed and beautiful silence when they’re not.
I deserve kisses on my dry and cracked knuckles in the winter and kisses where the sweet sunshine hits the tip of my nose in the summer.
I deserve to be checked up on when I don’t reply all day long.
I deserve to be carried when I can’t bear to move.
I deserve to be looked at the way your father did when he first fell in love with your mother.
I deserve the truth no matter how hard it may be for you to tell it.
I deserve laughter even when I’ve just told the worst joke in the world.
I deserve understanding for my former ways and promises to better my future.
I deserve to be cuddled every day you have the chance.
I deserve to be the one you cry on when sadness fills your soul and I deserve to be the one you laugh with when warmth fills your heart.
I deserve for you to try to see beyond what I give.
I deserve to be seen for who I am inside, not for what’s on the out.
I deserve to be loved in a way in which could erase all the former ones who failed to love me the way you should.
I deserve to be loved, not lusted after and if one day you realize that I don’t deserve all that I do..
I deserve a cruel goodbye.
