Turn off the lights and come talk to me

Tired and exhausted; that’s exactly how I feel. It’s been a stressful week in terms of everything and all that tension, somehow managed to get under our skin and drive us crazy. We both pushed and pushed until we, almost, blew the whole thing up.

That’s when we realized we had to relax and take a step back. It’s been agreed on. It’s something we need to do. Sit and talk; just talk, for hours and hours. Hold me tight, let me lay on your chest and feel your heartbeat, let me breathe you in – every bit of you -, but most importantly talk to me.

Tell me about everything; your hellish week, the program you love to watch, how good I make you feel. Tell me about your day, talk to me about your concerns, talk to me about us and how amazingly awesome we are together. Point out my mistakes and faults; I want to know when I do you wrong.  I want to be the best version of myself around you.

Let me tell you how important you are to me; how perfect you seem to be in my eyes. Let’s just talk about the good and the bad we’ve been through together, the things we went through before we ever laid eyes on each other.

Let’s just talk and get that soothing intimate feeling we both love. Remember how you said it’s not just passion or lust between us, there’s love and caring and deeper feelings. There are things that nobody in this life could cover if we were ever to split. We are each other’s other half.

Let’s just be the two of us tonight; no fighting, no arguments, nothing to worry about or steal our attention. It’s about time we did that; we should have done that a long time ago.

I want to tell you how I feel when you stay awake long enough so that I fall asleep before you and I don’t feel afraid. I want to tell you how much I enjoyed the time we spent together watching that movie you loved or how much I adored and laughed at that face of yours when you were describing that ridiculous incident you had experienced with the man in the striped pants.

I want to talk to you about the dreams I have of you at night and those I have while awake imagining of our future. I want you to tell me that we can make it because we are so good together. I want to hear your thoughts on our future; I want to hear you telling me of how many kids you want us to have and picture the whole thing in our heads as if we are actually, already living it.

I want us to make plans together; plans that we will both agree on and if we are to argue, let’s argue about baby names or the colors of our future bedroom walls. Let’s argue because you’ll want to keep riding your bike and I will want to buy an SUV.

Turn off the lights and come be stupid and goofy with me, be serious, be caring, but whatever you do, talk to me. Don’t stop talking to me. I want us to come even closer tonight. Touch my soul and let me touch yours, for yet another time.

Let’s be who we were at the beginning. We talked for hours and hours and we watched the sun come out together. We would have coffee just to stay awake and watch the sunrise together; miles apart yet so close at heart and when it was time to sleep you would talk to me until I fell asleep.

Turn off the lights and talk to me tonight. And when everything is said and done, let me kiss your lips softly, let me whisper that I love you and let me lay on your chest, wrap your arms around me and let me sleep there. Let me feel your heart beating, let me hear you breathing, let me feel safe.

Just be who you know how to be best; be my other half.
