proposal

i promise
i'll make you cry
be intolerable
most of the days
and an oaf
for the rest

i promise
i'll be engulfed
with insecurities
and fears
of you going away
forever

i promise
i will never
let you help me
but will never
stop asking
you for help

i promise
i'll want you
to think of me
without considering
other things might
be more important

i promise
i'll smother you
with declarations
of love
as if the love
is one-sided

i promise
i'll insist
on being a part
of your life
even when you want
your own space

i promise
i'll make it
impossible for you
to love me
and stay by my side
to care for me

will you love me?
