I want everything of yours.

[ moving to kiss his jaw, now ]

But what I want is unreasonable. What I hope for, ultimately, is to alleviate your burdens, if even just by a little bit. So, if it's just a complaint about how your shoes are untied, or your personal trauma, or a worry about the future, or anything . . . anything, anything.

. . . Even if you don't tell me anything, at least find some comfort in me.
