Nights Like These
Nights like these make me want someone. Not just anyone. Her. The girl of my dreams. I’d Skype with her.. I’d stay on the phone all night with her just so she wouldn’t be lonely. I’d drive to her house if I had the gas. I’d buy her cute things like stuffed animals and posters of her favorite bands if I could afford them.
Nights like these, I torment myself with the thought of wanting or needing someone else. Someone else to lay next to. To feel loved by. To make them feel loved. Because I would. I’d snuggle their neck and play with their freckles as we watched each other sleep in the cold light the television emitted. She’d trace the lines of my tattoos with her fingers and I’d trace the lines of hers with mine. I’d tickle her just to be tickled. I’d kiss her just to be kissed.
We would go on adventures together when I had the time. Just across town, or across the country. Get on a train and just go. Get in the car and drive till we ran out of gas. I’d show her my favorite places. And I’d get to know hers.
Nights like these make me want to kill myself. Because I’ve had this incessant need of this person who I’ve never found. Ok, I found her several times, but each time fleeting. Like this person I’m thinking about isn’t a person at all, but rather an entity. That apparently quite a few women possess. It isn’t that I’m desperate, it’s just that I’ve seen her before. In the faces of my exes.. In their souls. But things change. That spark dies out. And I get the feeling of regret or guilt. Yet there is nothing to be regretted or guilty about. It’s all in my head.
Nights like these, I want someone who understands me. Doesn’t get scared when I tell them my dreams. Who will hold me and love me even when I get mad. I hate the heat. I want someone who loves the cold as much as I do. I want someone who won’t break things when they get mad at me. I want someone who won’t scream at me or break into uncontrollable sobbing after we’ve had a fight. I want someone who will accept my apology. I want someone who could hold me when I cried. Because I’d do it for them if they did.
Nights like these I think of the times I’ve shared with others. What we did and how we did it. But then it makes me sad because I remember who I did what with and I just feel bad.
I want a girl I can play Halo with. Who genuinely likes it. Not necessarily to the point that I do, but who won’t give me shit for it. I read the books. I know all the characters and events. I know all the weapons, the enemies, the battles, the fiction. I know it. And I don’t want to feel weird for knowing it. I wouldn’t make them feel weird about their fantasies or their guilty pleasures or their hobbies. I want a girl who will go to a hardcore concert with me. Who can see Circa Survive AND Bring Me the Horizon and enjoy both shows. I want a girl who can do that and won’t threaten suicide when we get in a fight. I want a girl who knows and understands like me that we won’t always agree on things. I want a girl who accepts that.
I want a girl I can share every aspect of my life with. I want a girl I don’t have to hide from.. I want a girl who doesn’t have to hide from me. And I want her all to myself. Because I would give all of myself to her. I’d open doors for her. I wouldn’t slurp my fetuccini at Olive Garden, but when I made it for her, I would because that’s kinda cute. I want a girl I can laugh with, who can laugh at herself, who I can laugh at, and who can laugh at me, and we love each other at the end of the day.
I want a girl who even though I have friends that are girls, she’d know that she’s my only girlfriend. Because that’s how I roll. I am friends with a few exes, and a few almost girlfriends, but those people are what they are.. Friends. I want a girl who can trust me. I want a girl that I can trust. Because I’m giving my all to them.
Nights like these make me want someone else to share nights like these with.
