66 books lay between us.
Innocent love— it's all that I want.
Fingers interlaced; shoulder to shoulder.
Our feet propped up on the living room sofa.

Ask for permission.
Prioritize your own health.
Be honest. Be ambitious.
Care for strangers— gently relentless.

Physical touch is my preferred form of love.
But I admire kind acts— intentionality behove.
Don't be a fool. I'm not desperate or blind.
I value my peace and composed right of mind.

Don't fixate on us.
Don't have callous dispositions.
Don't invalidate one's emotions.
Don't merely hear— you must listen.

Put love over lust, and this could be us.
To be known is all that a person ever wants.
Modern disagreements are given silent cold shoulders.
Let's have hard conversations in the comfort of this sofa.
