I do not expect you 

To pluck the stars from the sky 

And put them all in a mason jar. 

I do not want you 

To kill every rose in this planet 

In order to create the most beautiful bouquet. 

I do not expect you 

To light this world on fire with your torch 

When I feel cold and I ask for warmth. 

I do not want you 

To bleed for me, to die for me

Like the movies always say. 

I do not expect you

To spend hours inside of your tool shed building the sun 

When the world becomes too dark. 

Love, I ask for imperfection.

Give me bed heads and silly smiles. 

Childish dreams and movie nights. 

Love, be my companion

When the nights are long 

And all I need is to be in your arms.
