If you were to fall in love with me..

You might not find me waiting for you at the door

Maybe curled up in a corner with a book you love

Or maybe I'll come home with you

Maybe after you.

But no matter what holds us back

I will come home to you

Always find my peace on the pillow of your arm.

Sometimes you'd find me unreasonable

Upset, quiet, depressed 

Sometimes I'd let my gloom rain on you

And then laugh to see you drenched

But I won't let you soak till you get cold

I will always let the Sun in

Then plant all the flowers of your spring.

You'd wonder at times at the mess that I am

At the chaos woven into the hem of my skirts

At the hurricane plaited into the whims of my hair

Sometimes you'll get trapped in the storm

But I will never let you get lost in there

I'll always rescue you (apologize as well)

And weave the quilt of warmth that keeps us safe

At times you will be mad at me

For being predictably unpredictable

For withdrawing for an eternity

And then never leaving you alone

But I will hear your words, said, unsaid

And sit with you when the moon sings to us

Warm your palms with whispers of love

On days you'd laugh at my clumsiness

Get irritated at my hundred insecurities

Annoyed at my phobia of arguments

Drown in the flood of my manic mirth

But I will also write you sonnets

Listen to your dreams and complains

Sip coffee on our swing and laugh at the rains.

You'll call me "mom" very often

Tease me for fussing and cribbing

You'll get tired of counting the useless things

I'll preserve for memory's sake

But I will never leave the lights off 

And I will always find your smile back

Always.

I promise.
