But now we’re just dating

Falling is exciting and dangerous

Walking next to someone is mundane and healthy

No one is supposed to be a religion

The worshipper never wanted to be on their knees

And the worshipped never asked to be exalted

Being a human of intensity

It is in me to over-display my affection

To paint murals, plan trips, consider my future vows

But she never said my small acts of kindness were not enough

Funny how I often decide in my head what others must want

Instead of asking and finding out that I was already deserving
