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.
