make my teeth rattle and shake my ribcage. curls my
toes and wiggle my nose.
stretch my fingers and bend my knees backwards.
turn my head a hundred and eighty degrees,
but never touch me.
do it with your eyes, your ears,
lips nose mouth.

do it with your love,
manipulate me.

I see other couples in turmoil and I often times wonder (and hope not) if we will ever be that way. I want to stay in little kid love forever, even if this feels like a more mature love as each month, day, hour, minute, second passes by. I just want to thank you, for being here.

I want to thank you from showing me things I never have seen, and teaching me things I never have learned. I want to thank you for listening to me when I cry at two in the morning, and making love to me later. I want to thank you for making love to me, and not just fxcking me. I want to thank you for letting me chose the cd in the car, and for offering to drive. I want to thank you for helping me fold laundry, even if you do just skip my clothes in the basket and fold yours. I want to thank you for helping me find things, and tucking me in, and carrying me up the stairs when I was to sick to walk. I want to thank you for getting me water, and letting me cook you food when I know it turned out kind of gross because I had no milk. I want to thank you for eating saltnvinegar chips with me, and I want to thank you for indulging my ideas. I want to thank you for staying with me, this whole year. Only a few more days.
