To the person who will capture my heart

I need you to be adventurous.
Domestic time will never be my full-time
but a welcome break from all the adventures.
I need you to be my travel partner,
with a lustful desire to taste, see, and heart the world
to hold my hand and lead me up summit
to carry backpacks and offer water.
To dive with me and fly with me
to hold my hand when thrills come to tears
and to push me to the point of exhaustion.

I need you to blur the lines.
To wash my intimates without second thought
to make me salads when I have nothing to eat
to show up with a bucket of chicken
when I'm too weary to go out and dine.
I need you to sleep under the covers with me
and never make me feel the cold.
To clean the bathroom for me so I can have a good bath
and patiently wait for me as I do my makeup.

I need you to surprise me.
To hold your hand over my eyes during my birthday
only to find our friends singing the songs
To dance with me on formal events
and to sing songs for me onstage.
I need you to look good on a tux like a real gentleman.
To complement my flowy, shiny, evening gown
to make me feel like a real lady.

I need you to be there.
In the silences, around the noise, in the danger, and warmth
To be there in a heartbeat. To be close
To never leave. To always assure. To love
passionately, deeply, unendingly.

I need you to love
like I do.
