You (9/23/21)

I swear
Every time you send a photo
It's like nothing else matters anymore

It doesn't matter what I was feeling before
It instantly fades away
And my heart swells up

Who knew all it would take
Is to see your pretty face
I'm never prepared

No matter how much I prep myself
It's never enough
The overwhelming rush of emotions

I just look into your eyes
And all the pain dissolves
Into a puddle at my feet

And when you ask to talk to me
You have no idea how much it means to me
To just know you enjoy my presence

I just wish I didn't have to be at work
I want to just play games with you all day
And I feel bad when you ask how much longer

How I wish I could drop it all
And do whatever you want
I'd be there for you in a heartbeat

You know I'd do anything for you
Anything you want I'd get for you
I'd move the mountains if I could

I just want to keep you safe
I don't want anyone else to ever hurt you
And I just want to hold you

I want you in such innocent ways
I have such big talk for my intensions with you
I want nothing but to keep you safe

And if it took years of proving that to you
You know I'd do it
And I think that's why I stick around

Because part of me thinks
That that's exactly what you need
You need proof

And if it's proof you need I'll stick around
Lord knows I'm not going anywhere
You've got me too wrapped around your finger

And I'll be cheesy
And I'll be so horribly obviously in love
And you'll just drag me along

But if all this pain I'm in
End with you being mine
It'd be worth it

I'll just keep writing you those letters
And I'll keep my pain hidden from you
I'll pretend to have it all together

And none of it will matter
When you finally wrap your arms around me
And call me yours

When you kiss my forehead
And told me I had you from the beginning
That all you needed was for me to be patient

None of this would matter
I would've just been the lover you needed
All along

I'm waiting for you
And I'll keep waiting
Take all the time you need
