To Someone Who Never Wants to Share a Home

You will never arrive home tired and with the knowledge that there is some time-consuming task that you still have to do, only to find that it has already been done for you.

You will never make breakfast quietly because someone is sleeping.

You will never be distracted from what you are doing because someone just walked into the room and, even though zie is wearing a T-shirt and pajama bottoms, zie looks really good today.

You will never go to the humane society to pick out a dog or cat together.

You will never have a pants-free zone.

No one will ever penalize you for failing to respect the pants-free zone.

You will never fall asleep on the couch together in the middle of the day.

You will never wash the dishes while someone else dries them or dry the dishes while someone else washes them.

You will never spot someone sliding across the kitchen floor in zir socks.

You will have no one to be grossed out with you as you unblock a drain or fix a broken washing machine or dishwasher together.

You will never plant a garden together.

You will never accidentally put on someone else’s clothes.

You will never drop a glass and have someone respond like it was the meltdown of Chernobyl because you are barefoot and zie doesn’t want you to get hurt.

You will never surprise someone by cleaning the house.

You will never spend hours jointly signing and initialing a giant stack of papers so that you can have a home because you have found someone who makes all the mundane parts of daily existence into something precious that you can’t afford to miss.
