to my sig other

... to my sig other, what i just want to say is
i go through great lengths to avoid conflicts with you
why shouldn't you do the same?
... and in these recent years, i have observed myself a man
(can't help it really)
and need to be respected by you,
the way a woman respects a man/
and if i cannot have that basically
then we cannot be
i'd rather die a loveless fool
so...
if you love me, let it show
in your own way
and i promise i will notice
though i may not tell you...
i promise i will let them go,
your basic flaws,,,
take off your makeup!
let me witness those bare jaws.
i've known you now so long
and still prefer the bread over the butter
...
