I want your lizard kisses,
your sweet green eyes,
I want your ill timed laughter,
your exacerbated sighs.
I want you for better or worse,
to meet me in the middle,
I want you to be patient,
to compromise.
I don’t want to live without you,
I don’t want to lose you,
I don’t want to get over you,
I don’t want to doubt you.
I don’t want you to say,
it will all be ok,
because if you leave,
the word to describe my world would not be “ok.”
It would be desolate, sad,
frustrating, mad.
I want this battle between us to end without casualty,
I want it to be an anecdote in our history.
Remember the time you almost dumped me?
So funny, so happy we came to our senses,
that we worked out a solution,
and realized caring commitment is not easy to find,
how am I going to make it through today with all this playing in my mind?
My eyes are puffy,
my heart is heavy,
good thing we no longer write with pens,
because my hand is unsteady.
I have searched a long time,
in many countries,
from Washington, DC
to Tel Aviv,
you are the love of my life,
please don’t leave.
