A list of things I love about you: 13 de julio de 2015

Let me tell you before I forget that I love you. I love to be around you. I love your strong embrace and your torpeza and your giant, bear-like mannerisms. I love you in the way I love Soda Stereo and making fire, alone but never alone. I love you in the same way I love myself because I’m capable of camping sola and cooking healthy. I love you the way I love fire: you give me warmth and life. I need you but I don’t need you. Te amo porque de cierta forma me has enseñado la auto suficiencia. I love you in the same way that we both love salsa golf. (What is salsa golf??) I love you even though you’re disorganized and messy and use all the materials and eat everything.

I love you because you treat me as someone of great value. You respect me, you protect me. I feel so safe with you, I feel completely at ease. Nothing bad can happen if you’re there. I love you because you suggest armando el faso before I do. You want to get drunk, you want to get high. Those things are important, “la conciencia embriaguez.” You love adventure, la locura. Somos loquillos, juntos.

You want to be where it’s at, you want to find the energy source. I have always wanted the same, but the way we react to and interact with that source of energy, it’s so different. I love that we can acknowledge and respect our differences. I love you because we make a good team; you know my interests, I know yours. I love you even though you invade my space, borrow my money, fail to tread lightly. Te amo porque podemos estar juntos pero en nuestros propios mundos, separados, pensando en cosas diferentes.
