Reminders

Reminders.

Keep cool.

Be logical.

Avoid all irrational emotions.

Never act when enraged.

Enjoy the moment.

Shut out the voices in your head.

These are the things I must remind myself,

In order to keep me in the sane.

Specifically,

Around you.

 

Sometimes you hurt me.

 You make my heart fucking ache.

 And other times you make me laugh so hard,

 I forget all your mistakes.

 I get why you are guarded,

 why you can’t stick to just me.

You love me as a person,

but your body still has needs.

 

 Sure I can give you plenty,

but still you notice the others walk by.

Is it nature? Is it instinct?

 It must suck to be a guy.

 

Look, I see all of your flaws,

your quirks, and your perfections.

I wouldn’t change a thing about you,

but it’d be nice for some directions.

 

You drive me crazy in a good way,

and the type that’s not so good,

There are ways to alter your behavior

But I can’t say that I would.

 

Sometimes it makes me angry,

 that I put up with your shit.

But when I remember all the high’s I think,

“Eh, I’ll take a hit”.

 

So for now I guess its worth it,

That I put up with this guy,

And when people ask me for the reasons

 I won’t even have to lie.

 

I do it for the smiles,

I do it for the laughs,

I do it for the friendship,

For the above average shaft.

 

I do it for the late night talks,

For the kisses on the cheek.

I do it for the memories,

And the farts that oh so reek.

 

I do it for the inspiration,

And for the guy perspective.

I do it for the good advice,

 To find a new objective.

 

But mostly I do it just to be in your presence,

You’re an adventure all your own.

I swear I’ll never tame you,

Just forever let you roam.

 

So stay the way you are,

And live the way you please.

Just don’t forget the girl beside you,

You delightful little tease.
