I don’t need to explain myself to you.
Not because I’ve done nothing wrong,
But because you know
What I’m thinking about,
Nervous for,
And angry at
(Usually myself).
You know my Monday commute playlist,
My favourite films and cinema snacks,
And exactly how I like to spend
My Sunday mornings—
With you by my side,
Letting me be myself,
Needing no explanation.

this is so lovely. it’s like coming home over and over again to a place where you can be whoever you want to be — a dream, really.
this is sweet. it's like a big warm hug of a poem.

Sent this one to my man 💕 so beautiful and lovely.
ow I felt that so deep that I cried, this is my type of love right there, I love having that type of connection where you just feel so comfortable. Love the line “ I don’t have to explain myself to you” that’s the dream. great work
this is a really good one! so very little and it can explain so much. good work
I like the shift from the first line to the rest of the poem. "I don't have to explain myself to you," is usually something said angrily.
I don't personally relate to this in a relationship though. If it was a bit more visual I think it'd be easier to jump into that world. Or maybe not more visual since that would essentially be a whole new thing, but like what I mean is that the lines in the middle about the Monday playlist, etc., don't really have an emotional impact for me.
Maybe I've just been in a lot of toxic relationships compared to average so just my $0.02
I agree. The transition was priceless, almost as if the first line was dejected, quiet, unheard in the noise of everything moving so fast.
P.S: Same dude. Screw relationships, do reddit instead. On an unrelated note, wanna be friends?
This gives me a sense of déja vu, OP. Sounds lovely.
