To Love And Be Loved

I want to fall in love,

to find someone just for me—

someone to laugh with,

to cry with,

to stay up late talking to.


I want to fall so deeply

that I feel lost without them.

I want someone who falls just as hard,

someone who falls for me.


I want whispered words,

confessions in the dark.

I want giggles and belly laughs,

tickles and play fighting,

hugs after arguments,

soft apologies,

makeup kisses.


I want it all—

good and bad.

To fall so deeply

we never have to worry

about it ending.


I want to understand someone

and be understood too.

To give little handmade gifts

that I’ve spent hours making,

and know their smile alone

is enough for me.


I wouldn’t care what we did—

what movie we watched,

what game we played—

their company

would be enough.


I want to be enough too.


I want to love,

and be loved.
