Late at night, the speaker can't sleep. Images of someone keep flickering through their mind, and they wonder if their eyes will ever close. It's a small, ordinary scene, but it shows how thoroughly this person has taken over their thoughts.
The rest of the poem is a list of wishes, each beginning with "I want you to." What's striking is how humble and personal they are. The speaker doesn't ask to be admired for big achievements. They want their smell loved, and even their habit of needing television before bed. Then the poem goes deeper, asking the other person to love "the cracks beneath my surface," the hidden, damaged parts.
The final lines, "I want to learn how to love, again, with you," suggest the speaker has been hurt or has lost trust before. The mood is tender, vulnerable and a little hopeful, a quiet confession made in the dark.
