you are the only one

you pick up the telephone and the sound of your voice cracking the first time you begged someone to stay plays through the receiver and you realize that it didn’t feel like poetry it felt like you were drowning three feet from the shoreline

I don’t mess around or play games. I don’t believe in them. I just want honesty. I’d rather wake up one morning and say, “You know what? I had a really terrible dream that you were fucking someone else. Can you love me extra today?” instead of getting in a fight about some stupid shit and then at the end of the day being like, “Okay, can I tell you why I’ve been acting like this?” I’d rather say “Heads up” than “I’m sorry” later. Your relationship is supposed to be the safe place.

Fall in love with someone that doesn’t make you think love is hard
