Reinforcement 101

you don't need to
take my hand to
take it to touch
your breast

you don't need to
lead my lips to
your lips for to 
take a kiss

but in my awkward
outlandish never
understanding
world of my

insecurities i need
for you to tell me 
over and over
and over

that what you really
mean is that you
truly do love
me for me

That seems a reasonable request. I hope she complies.
