Too Much?

I've heard it over and over again. I'm too needy. I crave attention. I'm too demanding. I'm insecure. 

Am I too needy? 

I want to be loved deeply.  I want to be seen, down to my soul. I want to be heard. I want to love with my  heart wide open. I want to sleep entwined with my lover.  I want to eat dinner together and have real conversations.

Am I asking too much?

I want to be the one he wants, when things go right and when things go wrong.

I want him to wake up in the night wanting me.

I want early morning sex and late night snuggles.

I want him to stroke my hair, to bring me flowers and to take out the trash.

I want it all. Am I asking too much?

I want to go on long drives to nowhere. I want him to hold my hand when we walk together. I want him to hold me close when I cry.

I want him to celebrate my triumphs and soothe my wounds. I want him to encourage my passions and forgive my failings.

Am I asking to much?

I am not needy. I am not insecure. I do not crave attention. I can do it all - all by myself. I am strong and capable.

I am enough, just as I am.

I do not ask anything of you, I offer the most precious gift. I offer my heart, my body, and space to walk beside me through this life.

What do you offer me?
