I want admiration

I would like a person who takes photos of me when I'm not looking

Because they need to immortalize the moment we're living

I would like a person who takes pictures of me when I'm sleeping

Because they just need to capture the look on my face when I'm dreaming

I want desire

I crave the sound of my name let out between moans

And a careful connection of minds & eyes, lips & thighs

I crave the after, full of whispers

And sighs interrupted by gentle laughter

I want happiness

I prefer someone I can laugh with

Especially in times so weighted by darkness

I prefer someone who has an awareness

And chooses to use it to improve what they can

I want simplicity

Bring me a leaf you found on the way that you absolutely had to show me

Write me a lovely letter that I'll likely treasure for a long, long while

I'd like confirmation, reassurance, a commitment

I crave your skin, your acknowledgement

I prefer to have a partnership over doing things myself

Although I'm more than alright with being alone
