friday night

What do I want?

I want real connection.

Deep conversations.

I want you to be sweet and doting, not just joke by being mean all the time.

You may be joking, but it still hurts.

It still wears me down. Especially when it's all I get.

I want romantic gestures.

Long hugs.

Hell, I want any hugs at all.

I want genuine smiles.

I want you to be curious about me. Excited to spend time with me.

I want you to care more about what I'm saying to you than about what's on your phone screen.

I want to be your priority.

I want to hear you say the words that you've never said - because I'm starting to feel like you never will.

But maybe that's too much for a Friday night.
