I love you, because

Wed, 09/13/2017 - 15:21 -- RosaB88

 

I want someone to take my hand. 

To be near me, not to keep me near them. 

 

I want someone to listen to me. 

Because they want to hear what I have to say, not to analyze everything I do.

 

I want to listen to someone.

To truly appreciate their day, not because I have to. 

 

I want someone to kiss me. 

Because they want me to feel loved, not because they want something from me. 

 

I want to do things for someone else.

To help make their life easier, not because they force me to. 

 

I want someone to hold me when I'm scared.

Because they want to comfort me, not because they want control. 

 

I want someone to want me to cook.

To be able to enjoy my food, not because it's "a woman's job."

 

I want someone who understands me.

 

I want someone to treasure me.

 

I want to be there for someone.

 

I want a relationship. Because they say "I love you" but not "Because I love you."
