I don't want to have to teach someone how to love me
I just want them to know
I feel like if I have to teach someone
Then we're not really equals

And I want someone
To be able to stand toe to toe with me
And surprise me
With wit
And recognize the irony
If the situation
And whisk me off my feet sometimes
And carry me off
On the strong shoulders of imagination

I want someone to know where to touch me
And to dare
To dare explore the frontiers
Of my body and soul
Where no one
Has ever gone before
