Poetry From The Mind Of The Loving

Like I Do

I wonder if you realize how much you mean to me, when you read my texts.

I wonder if you realize how much I wish I could hold your hand, hug you, and tell you it'll be okay.

I wish I could make you realize how amazing you truly are.

I'm afraid of losing you, more than I have ever been before.

I wouldn't blame you if you didn't want to be with me anymore.

You could tell me that you don't feel the same, that you just want to be friends.

I would hurt for the longest time, but I would understand.

I'd ask why, if it was something I did, but if you really wanted me to go I would.

I would be fighting against myself the whole time, trying not to walk away, but if you wanted me to leave, I would.

But as long as you want me to stay, I will stay.

As long as you want my smile, I will smile for you.

As long as you need me, I'll be here for you.

And I'll love you long after you move on from me.

Your love may change, turn to friendship again, but I will still love you like I do.
