Complete

I read it was national poetry day and wanted to write something all day. I just took a few minutes and this came out. I'm sure I'd look for changes if I had more time. Perhaps this is for a love I am still to meet...

I am not looking for the one to complete me.
I am looking for the one who truly sees me.
I am not asking for every second of your time.
I am asking in every second we have we strive to be kind.
I am not asking you to promise forever today. 
I am asking to communicate along the way. 
I'm not asking to consume you or hold you back in any way. 
I am asking that we lift each other and share our joy each day. 
I'm not asking for a life without trouble that would be foolish to do. 
I am asking you to hold my hand and trust we'll make it through. 
I am not asking you to complete me. 
Although, right now , in my very full beautiful life,  you do!
