A poem about why I am leeching
I just want to be with you.Â
In the rawest senseÂ
of that sentence.Â
with every single one of my 6 senses.
and to watch you, without any lensesÂ
not even through rose-colored glassesÂ
but you, the pure version of the atom-massesÂ
that form this beautiful face
moving with such unique graceÂ
and realizing Iâm not sure how I got here
and here Iâm sitting unbelieving this sheerÂ
madness that even if I donât know howÂ
Iâm with you and every day I wake up and think wowÂ
this is what I always wantedÂ
and itâs even more, and although Iâm hauntedÂ
by my not so fairytaily pastÂ
 you show me that thereâs a reason to call it pastÂ
because it passedÂ
and so will all this stressÂ
and all this mess.Â
I know itâs hardÂ
to live on a building yardÂ
to see hundreds of this card-
board boxes, this trash, rubbish, waste
the leftover that remainsÂ
and not being able to clean that topsyturvydom
and not even knowing where it comes from
to be clueless of what to doÂ
and how to do itÂ
or even if thereâs something to doÂ
but you know what?Â
I guess itâs a fact thatÂ
itâs always improvingÂ
someday youâll come homeÂ
and you won't need to furnish someÂ
stuff. and even though I can't guarantee
that it will be the same with me
I can promise to do my best
to not requestÂ
so, so  much attention
that thereâs even tensionÂ
because of thatÂ
because I cannot let go of youÂ
not even for 3 minutes of tobaccoÂ
because Iâm so scared of not having you one day,Â
I want you so badly to stay
with me for a very very long time
I want so badly to do fineÂ
to be such a perfect girlfriendÂ
to always amendÂ
and I guess I have to learn that itâs not realistic
even if Iâm very optimisticÂ
I will hurt you one day
but youâll hurt me, too and thatâs okay.Â
You will hurt meÂ
and that alreadyÂ
said Saint-Exupery
that this is the very condition of existenceÂ
presence, accepting the risk of absenceÂ
and itâs hard and it will be harder
but I will get furtherÂ
every dayÂ
you tell me Iâm okay
I start to believe you more and moreÂ
and even if Iâm still quite sore
still anxious of this huge thingÂ
that sometimes I cringe
Iâm gettin backÂ
step by stepÂ
to my girly
romantic fantasyÂ
that true love existsÂ
and through weird twistsÂ
I found it.Â
and that my dear is the most beautiful thing Iâve ever got.Â
and Iâm babbling a lotÂ
but how I told you yesterday
loveâs not accepting just okay
it leaves us striving for a better version
of ourselves, without any weapon
but I gave that one already to youÂ
so now thatâs me, nudeÂ
and I guess thatâs all I have right nowÂ
and even though how I told, youâre wowÂ
and Iâm not feelingÂ
like competingÂ
but Iâm striving to be a wow tooÂ
not even a wow for youÂ
but a wow for me.Â
to look in the mirror and see
the best version that I can be
and you are making me.Â
with every complimentÂ
every suggestion for improvementÂ
every criticismÂ
shutting down my alarmismÂ
living altruismÂ
is and aphorismÂ
so I want to do exactly thatÂ
get as tidy as our flat
and sorting out the chaos in my mindÂ
to relax, unwind,Â
get rid of the mess
disband the gloominess
and believe in us.
