You know how they say that sea otters hold hands when they sleep, so they don’t drift away from each other? Humans are a little like that too. We just want someone who will knot their fingers through ours and stay there. We want someone to show up on our doorstep at midnight, holding Chinese takeout, all because they sensed somehow that you were starving. We want someone to call us in the morning to wake us up, so we can pretend that we’re mad at them, when really hearing them first thing makes getting up worthwhile. We want someone to spend hours thinking about, to lose sleep over, to not actually be able to sleep until they’ve said good night. We want someone to go to the movies with, buy popcorn for, sit and watch not even five minutes of the movie before you end up spending the rest of it kissing them. We want someone to call at 3am, just to say, hey you, I miss you. We want someone to capture our attention, make us laugh, make our heart do that weird thing where it beats slow and fast at the same time. We want someone to push up against a wall, grab onto, pull closer, be infatuated with, and love so intensely, and just know that it’s still not nearly enough. We want someone to bring us coffee in the morning. Someone to fall asleep next to. Someone to spend all day with, and then call as soon as you get home. Someone to drive anywhere with. Humans just want someone, who will return everything. So I guess I’m just asking if you’ll be my sea otter. I’ll hold your hand when you sleep. I won’t drift away. Even if you tell me to, I’ll try and swim back.
