How Not To Fall In Love
Take them on a date to buy sandwiches the shop has taken off the menu
Invite them to a club where you will not dance together
Play videogames where you live in separate houses
Take ugly photos of yourself and send them to them
Sleep next to them and hump their leg in your sleep
Rub their shoulders when they're sweaty and gross from the gym
Versuchen es eine sprache lernen zu liebe, mach es nie richtig
Smile or snort but never laugh loudly when they are funny
Try to persuade them to eat more vegetables
Don't make an effort to be attractive or sexy to them
Make stupid little models for them that hurt your hands
Send them memes you think will gross them out
Do a class where you punch and kick each other
Stand outside their house and panic about your emotions
Fall over because of your stupid joints when they bend you into your first dip
Miss 90% of the things they throw you and 60% of their puns
Annoy them by accident every visit
Threaten to kiss the food out of their mouth
Write stupid little poems that you never show them
Tell them "fuck you," as often as possible
Fail,
miserably,
over and over
and over again:
(You will love them anyway, because -)
(your tongues don't match, but your fingers do)
(you both carry broken things, jagged edges that almost match -)
(despite all of this)
(they laugh, call you back)
(smile, hold your hand, kiss)
(and sleep, occasionally,)
(next to you)
