I want to be your ideal lover in a summer house built for two. But my ideas are too big to stuff into the guest room, so we stay in our separate city dwellings.
All these places we went together just gave us excuses to dream. Some of them felt more like home then I had ever known before. We'd set up camp, make coffee, and vegetable couscous.
Our long mornings beneath the covers, limbs intertwined like liquid stars. Kissing you in Morocco, I thought to myself how you have a whole universe inside of you.
But I keep a distance that causes complications. I have long desired to pull the world inside me out, and share it with someone.
I thought you knew. I wanted to create a world with you that would expand the one already existing within me, but I don't think we match like that. We create memories together, but understand them differently. We value different parts inside the same whole.
We are connected by the comfort. I hold on to the hope that you're a little bit more like me than you seem, but I know that's selfish to think.
So I retreat back into my own world of colors, books and words. I am creating my own life, and I hope you can find a way to do the same.
