I Need You And You And You

What happens when you don't know? You don't know what he wants. You don't know what you want. But all you do know is that you want him. Any version of him will suffice, whether it's the friendship you've always had, the flirtation he used to force on you, or the sex you currently have. I want him. Is it crazy when you want to define a relationship to the extent of exclusivity but not define it with a label? Why is exclusivity such an important role in modern relationships? Should we trust that the other person wants us enough that they don't need anyone else? How could one person ever be enough? It got me thinking; we have girlfriends for shoe advice, teachers for education, boyfriends for intimacy, and gay friends for, well more shoe advice. Why would we ever imagine a world where one person could possibly be everything? Maybe thats why people can never fully agree on what they want in a relationship - because they will always need someone else for something else. Which is okay. But when the line between your friendship and sex blurs, what are you needed for? We question our position in our partnerships because we're always wondering what it means to them. Do you want me? Wheres this going? What part am I playing? And last, but not least, are we exclusive? Because in a world that values monogamy, we never really seem monogamous.
