I want a relationship where We spend our evenings cuddled on the sofa Netflix and chilling and it's not a euphemism Then head to bed where we press our bodies against each other in our pyjamas Reassuring, telling each other through touch “I'm here, you're safe” And kissing, before we drift off into sleep Not going further because there is no further Only other people's relationships in a dynamic that works for them And our relationship, different from theirs but no less whole
