Halfway To Happy

You speak your mind,

But all I hear are muffled sounds when lined up next to your contradicting actions that speak so loud,

I just want to understand you.

Confusion is a game that I've gotten too used to.

Even more so since I want you to play too.

I'm standing here on your side of the road,

Waiting for any indication of validation or reciprocation,

But all I get are your non-committal interactions that turn into altercations,

Your trepidation is causing me frustration and I'm starting to lose my patience.

If you don't want me, then say so.

I prefer loud stomps to your tip toes,

And would appreciate your honesty instead of prosing on about your indecisiveness.

Because I'll tell you what I want.

I want kisses with strings attached so when you try to pull away I can pull you right back.

I want stargazing under night skies and pillow talk until sunrise.

I want consistency and longevity...

I want I love you and I still like you after all these years even though you drive me crazy sometimes.

I want to build a home on the foundation of trust, honesty, and loyalty.

I want authenticity in your words and actions...

I want to ride this roller coaster knowing that you'll hold on to me tighter as we go through the lows,

I want to know that we'll work together through adversity and you won't just get up and go,

I just want to know...

What are you thinking?
