Hello @hiante What an awesome poem of the love felt between two people. He may do and say stupid things, however, he wants affirmation and for his love one to act in the negative to his foolish antics. He doesn't mean it. I feel he just wants her to demonstrate her love by ignoring his laments and childish actions. In other words, he wants her to take control and slap him silly for doing and saying the things he does.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful poem. Have a good weekend.
