Want

I want to fall in love with someone and grow to love them for who they are. I want to love someone's good side, and learn all about their flaws, and yet continue to love them anyway. I want to find someone who will love me in the same way.

I want to be best friends with someone and yet be in love with them and love them, all at the same time because these things all have different meanings to me. I want someone to understand that these things all have different meanings to me.

I want to fall in love with someone who gets why I love the Beatles and Lily Allen and the Libertines. I want someone who thinks of me sometimes and gets that I am not about roses or big romantic gestures, but that I love small gestures that demonstrate thoughtfulness. Like making me breakfast after a rough night writing an essay. Or sending me a quick text to say hi.

I want a lot of things but I feel like knowing what I want is more than half the battle.
