I thought I wanted to be alone forever. But I don’t think I really want to be alone… I want someone to share things with — words, feelings, memories, sunsets, coffees, laughter. Someone whose mind is just as silly as mine. Someone who accepts my characteristics that I no longer want to hide; someone who places me on a pedestal. Someone who understands the reasons why I’m crying and who laughs at the dumb, silly things that come from inside me. I want someone who will allow me to sink into them.
Someone with whom I can be myself, to laugh from the bottom of the stomach until it hurts my jaws, someone who loves me at my worst and at my best; someone who sticks with me. Someone who is my best friend, someone who I can confide in, someone who sees my erectness and doesn’t mind. Someone who knows that things take time. Someone patient, someone kind. Someone who gives me space but doesn’t let me deviate too far away. Someone playful, who keeps my heart mirthful and my brain full with positive thoughts, someone who dispels gloom out of my life. Someone who knows me and is not just the tip of the iceberg.
Someone who is a walking Wikipedia for my secrets. Someone steady, someone stable. Someone who’s able to make out the things I say when I’m unable to say them. Someone whose smile feels like sunshine and whose words calm me like a tranquil sea. Someone whose affection for me could never run out. Someone who would never let me fall too far down.
Someone who would converse with me well into the night despite being the example of “the early bird catches the worm.” Someone who would annoy me round the clock. Someone who offers an olive branch. Someone who explains stuff to me without making me feel like a nincompoop. Someone who’s there even when I’m scared and I don’t know where I’m going; who will show me the way to go, someone strong and someone bold.
Someone whose eyes will always catch mine in a crowded room. Someone ready to take on the world with me, who offers me the world expecting nothing in return. Who creates the best of memories and brings the best out of me, someone who I could never get bored of. Someone who never thought twice before the chose me.
