I will disappoint you

Mar 30, 2026

I will disappoint you.
I will not measure up to all your expectations.

I will ebb and I will flow.

I will love you deeply and fiercely…
and I will let you down.

I will grow angry.
I will shut down.

There are sore spots that you may near,
causing me to flinch.

I will be ~~your~~ human.
I will be your lover.
I will be your friend,
but I will be human first.

I will ramble until your ears beg for more,
and I will exist in silences I do not always wish to explain.

I will make you laugh from deep places in your belly,
and there may be times I am the reason for your tears.

I will never intentionally harm you,
but I will never pretend to be able to read your mind.

Talk to me, gently.

I will fail you,
only to learn how to love you better.

I will never require your perfection.
I will never require your performance.
I will never require a price you must pay to earn my love.

I give it freely.

I choose you
without apology,
without disclaimers,
and as best as I can, without my ego.

I honor your humanity,
while also seeing God in your reflection.

I will go to war with you,
as long as I am not your opponent.

I will light fires for you,
as long as I am also warm.

I pray on this journey forever finds us, as

I choose you.
You choose me.
We choose each other.

I welcome your ugly.
I hold space for your scars.

Show me the naked beneath your naked.

Tune out of hiding.
I want to meet your authentic frequency.

You shine even when your battery is low.
You are worth marveling at even when you are still

Unravel.

Show me how “put together” falls apart.

I yearn for you,
yet I have no idols.

No stages, just front doors.
No pedestals, just a bosom.
No masks, just flesh.

Show me all of you. I’m waiting.

Come add to my life’s lore.
Be my muse.

Let me study the living embodiment of creation.

Your light turns me on.

Let me help you keep it alive
and if I were to ever dim it,

I will listen and respond accordingly.
