When people imagine
Two people in love
They imagine they way we interact
But they imagine us together
They imagine a label between us
One bigger than friends
But you and I know this isn't necessary
You can be in love
And have a passionate love
Without such a label
I know you're in love
I finally figured it out
I can ask you and you'll tell me
And it took me some time to get here
To understand that's what you feel
It took some time to filter through
My previous experiences
Previously they were never in love with me
I'd be in love
And they wouldn't reciprocate
Because they simply couldn't
And I'm not sure what it is about you
But you do
And I'm glad you do
You keep telling me
"Brew a gay potion"
But my dear
You're already in love with me
What you feel in your heart for me
It doesn't matter your sexual orientation
You always say if I brewed the potion
You'd be with me
So why does it matter what label
You've applied to yourself
Because we're already in love
We already have the foundation
Before we hang up
We argue over who loves whom most
When we play
We flirt the whole time
When we get tired
We get dopey and lovey
We won't shut up about how much
We love each other
And the other, more awake one
Eats it up
Even last night you did
Trying to convince me to go bed
I must've told you I loved you 10 times
Before I finally hung up
And you just kept telling me how cute I was
How much you loved me
Arguing with me
Saying you won our argument of love
When we play Valorant
We tell people we're together
Because of our matching names
In fact when I don't
It makes you upset
I've called you my friend before
And when I said I should've said girlfriend
You said you felt disappointed
And it was so adorable
When I asked if it bothered you
That I referred to you as my wife
You said you loved it
It made you feel proud
You're so fucking adorable
And so we live in this world
Where we're in love
And I don't think we quite know
What to do with ourselves
Some days I wonder
If you even label it as such
Do you look at me
Listen to me
Play with me
And just think
"I'm so fucking in love with this woman"
Yesterday I caught it on camera
I was filming us playing Valorant
And you finally went to bed
And we did our argument
And you were so fucking cute
And you hung up
And I just sat there and said
"I'm so fucking in love with her"
And I've been considering editing that video
Just for us
Uploading it at private
Because we listened to music together
And I just want to make it secret
And private
If we talk this way
If we act this way
Don't you realize you don't need the potion?
You're already in love with me
You love me like I love you
We're in love
Yes it would be hard
We'd have a lot of obstacles
But let's worry about that later
Let's just be in love
And enjoy ourselves
Let me be yours
Let yourself be mine
Be with me
Let it be beautiful
Let it be magnificent
Let us take it slow
We'll take it at your pace
I'll go as slow as you need
There's some emotions I have
I still won't describe to you
Mostly because my love is deeper than them
There's more to love than sex
There's more to you than your body
And I refuse to let you think it's all I think about
I want you in such innocent ways
I'd wait years to do anything
I wouldn't lay a hand on you
If that's what it took
I will continue to prove myself to you
I will show you my heart
I will work on showing you
That you don't need your gay potion
All you'd have to do is say
"Be mine"
And you'd have to be serious
And I'll use our label
I'll tell my mom about you
About us
We can start our journey together
Just say the word
We'll take on the world
