Teach me how to love you. Teach me how to love like an ordinary being, how to stand before you, weak in the knees, shivering hands, and throbbing heart, and tell you I love you.
Teach me how to be normal, wear brighter colors, drink less coffee, and not blurt out the first thing that comes to my mind. Teach me how to think before I speak, how to make you feel wanted and pull you close to me.
Teach me how to focus when all I can think of is you. Teach me how to love like a human, to be affectionate, and to say the lovely and sweet words that you so deserve, teach me how to love you back the way you want me to.
Teach me not to use you for my pleasure, how to love you so selflessly that I love you for you, and that there is nothing I am getting in return.
Teach me to look at you with dreamy eyes and frivolous smile, how to come near you as if I approach the warmest thing on earth, how to feel scared of loving you yet still come close because you are here, at this moment, you are here, and there is nothing more important than loving you at this moment.
Teach me how not to be toxic. Teach me the real meaning of caring for someone and being healthy for them. Teach me that despite the whole world, that you beside me can conquer all, that I will come back on a late Thursday exhausted and sleepy, and I will have you next to me.
Teach me how to feel like a normal person, behave and speak and express feelings as a normal person does. Teach me how to live and be free, teach me how to be there for you, always. Teach me to tolerate you, to acknowledge that when you exist, it is not only me, but it is very much also you. Teach me how not to get bored of you.
