People
go about dating all wrong--decked out, dolled up, half-drunk, and with
music so loud it doesn't matter the conversation.
Be sick around this
person, let there be kids nearby, have an annoying dog who pees on
everything and barks incessantly, let the power go out, endure at least
one tragedy together, know what they worship and why, and play a little
poor sometimes because you might be poor someday. This person will be
your world, and the world isn't contained to nightclubs, cliche fondue
restaurants, or those ridiculous dolphin cruises.
This person may be
cleaning up after you when you cannot care for yourself, may be holding
you up in a shower because you've been half-gutted and need the strength
of an entire extra human body, may be holding your children some days
because you cannot.
