i have a life, a life to share

i have a beautiful morning. its nice alone, but come and share it with me. i'll make you breakfast in bed when you're good, and even when you're bad, but especially when i'm bad. "xo sorry here's toast with jam."

i have recipes you will love and those that you'll pretend to love. I want to learn what your face looks like when you're faking it. Just for you i'll make you guacamole, banana bread, and fish while i make something for me on the side.

i have mannerisms and little annoying habits that will make you cringe and drive you up the wall. Can you love me despite them? Lets find out. we'll fight about the little things and apologize. we'll fight about the big things too, but instead of apologies we'll change for each other.

i have stories and pictures and anecdotes to tell you. You have yours too; let's forget which one happened to who. And when we tell them at dinner with our friends, you'll smile knowingly at me when we both know the best parts are just for us to know. 

when i get home i'll check for your shoes by the door. when you wake up you'll feel for me on the other side of the bed. the quotidian, the banal and the boring of both of our lives will beautifully combine until your strands and my fibers are indistinguishably woven together.

i have thoughts and dreams and deeper levels that are almost impossible to know. i will show my heart to you if you show yours. we can have secrets and share secrets and learn about them together. 

but most of all i have love. love to give and lose and share and take.

i have a life, a life to share.
