I don’t want to be
your wife;
lover;
girlfriend;
mother;
best friend.
I want to be
be a contemporary courtesan
to be your intellectual equal,
To be your skilled lover,
attentive to your every need.
I want to know
how your mind ticks
play to your strengths
and weave over your weaknesses
I want to breathe the air
where you are yourself
I want to be your companion
in the talkative silences.
I want all your attention
and give you all of mine
I want to keep this on the edge,
where this relationship has no name.
I want to share stolen moments
from ambitious dreams and busy schedules
I want being with you as effortless
and as desirous as the moon rising in the sky!
I want to be a part of your world
Only a part, and not the whole.
I want us to fly together
and sometime disparate
to conquer diverse worlds
and celebrate together
I want to share a common space
Not a roof.
I want us to share experiences
not merely time.
I want no one to decide the rules
except the ones we make.
I want to know how you feel
the minute you say hello!
I want to be with you
because of you.
because of who I become when I am with you
because of what you bring out in me.
I want to be with you
without artifice
without agenda
without dependence
without financial ties.
I want to be your
contemporary courtesan!
and want you to
return the favour…
This is beautiful. My definition of a perfect relationship.
I agree with Broom. This is the definition of a perfect relationship.
Wonderfully written, TT.
Well expressed Tappy!
Esp. like the last line 🙂
splendidly beautiful!! loved every line.
just ~ don’t call it a favor…
I love this. It’s beautiful!
Thank you all. Written for a date who was creating a storm in my head! Luckily we are friends now – but the storm inspired some serious thinking and serious putting down of what I want! And I realise that what I want is nothing like the norms of a regular or unconventional man-woman relationship! I want to be in a part of something which has no name!
Hey TT, nice one. Reminds me of something I had written to proposition a new-found crush not too long ago… maybe will post it here one of these days.
beautiful
