I will be your partner even when you don’t need one
I will be your company on lonely days

I will take you places you don’t know
Small restaurants I found on my way home
Safe havens hidden in the woods

I will leave my boots on the floor
my smell on your sweaters
my footprints on yours

I sing while I shower
and sometimes talk more than I should

I sleep on the left side of the bed
but will often fall asleep on the couch

I will love you with every new sunrise
every “good night”

There will be more of me than you are used to
more hair, more skin
more books than are necessary

I often talk to myself
and I like making picnics on summer days

I don’t know how to cook a proper meal
but I make the best sandwiches you will ever taste

I will love you without question marks

without wavers
without silences.
