This is a rather an awkward confession,
that I've decided to tell you.
I don't know why I'm bringin this up,
because it puts our relationship under review.
It will be difficult to explain myself,
so I ask that you be patient with me.
Hopefully, you will understand,
and it will open your eyes to what I see.
There are times that I believe,
that our connection is almost too prefect.
Therefore, I occasionally find pet-peeves,
to bring in some degree of disappointment.
When we're out in public,
I'll purposely look at other women.
It somehow gives me a small sense of adventure,
of making you think you have competition.
I'll sometimes go more than a week,
before I get around to callin you.
Communication is one of our key strengths,
and I don't know why I enjoy stallin you.
When we wrestle with each other,
I might poke your stomach or slap your thighs.
You're a bit insecure of your body,
and me teasin those areas makes your aggravation rise.
If too many of our conversations go smoothly,
I'll take a moment to make an ignorant or smart comment.
We both have a bad habit of totin smart mouths,
so I know I will be provokin an argument.
Whenever it's that time of the month for you,
on rare occasions I would still want to get it.
Sex never plays a dominant role in our relationship,
but I'll make a big deal about bein rejected.
I definitely don't do these things too much,
but just enough to obtain some sort of "balance."
Eternal Love without any kind of obstacles,
leaves me feeling empty and without a challenge.
Although I see myself with you forever,
I'll intentionally stir up a conflict or two.
I'm somewhat content with Looking For A Reason,
to be on your bad side for a few.

There are some arguments that are unexpected in a relationship. Others are provoked. This is a outside view of what may be a confession to the provoked.
