I don’t know if I’ve seen her yet
But I’ve envisioned how she makes me feel.
Like a king
Despite my faults
She sees someone who rounds out all of her squares;
Her checklist of personal issues I help to un-
check as we go along.
She’s on my layaway plan.
I’m making sacrifices for her.
Overlooking the things I don’t really need
the short-term things
To save up for what/ for who
I really want
for life.
