my favorite kind of lover (and it don't happen all too often) is the kind that is also your best friend, your trudging buddy, and your partner in crime. the kind of person you can fuck up in front of, laugh so hard that liquid shoots out of your nose, get mad at and then drop it a second later like a forgetful goldfish, touch 'em whenever you feel like it, tell 'em what's on your mind, be fearful and fearless in the same moment, wear funny hats and play dumb games, have a healthy on-going competitive streak, respect the hell out of them, find them both awesome and humbling, both like and poke fun at each other's friends, be each others greatest fans and honest critic, and at the end of the day curl up like two peas in a pod, enjoying the feeling of being seen and being known by another human being.

my friends, i think i may have found a keeper. for as long as it lasts, till the wheels fall off.

i like him.
