I love you, because
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."
