Don’t fall in love with me.
Not unless you’re ready for a goddamn fight.
I don’t want frailty,
fiction, and fairy tales.
I want you to be irrational
because I’m irrational.
Be bold. Speak your mind.
I want your wildfires and obscenities.
I want your passion and priorities.
Protect what’s yours.
I’ll defend what’s ours.
Let us fight against routines and bad habits
and anything typical.
And don’t you dare quit.
Not on us, not on yourself.
God help the person who threatens us.
Forgive me when I let you down,
but don’t ever overlook it
or allow it.
We're all insecure about something -
Show me yours.
We’re all terrified sometimes -
Turn to me.
People come in and out of my life
so often
and so easily
that I just look for a love that stays.
I don’t mind your blemishes or scars.
I have a few of my own.
Don’t be another flash in the pan.
Falling for me will be easy.
Staying with me will be impossible.
But you deserve a love
that most people don’t believe in anymore.
J. Raymond
