Tell him I need him.
Tell him my world revolves around his breaths,
But will not crash and burn when he holds it.
Tell him he's as lovely as it gets,
And that his mind has enough capacity to know I'm only strong when he's not around.
Tell him he's the sun I wake up for,
But by the moon I get my rest.
Tell him his love holds me dearly,
But his words gather in my mind.
Tell him he's broken,
But so am I,
So we'll have to be broken together.
Tell him he's there,
Even when he doesn't want to be.
Tell him my brain only has about three hundred sixteen memories of us,
And I could live for a couple more.
Tell him he's the perfection I've been longing for,
But he's still the clumsy fool he was born to be.
Tell him that his tears are mine,
And we'll cry them together.
Tell him I'll adore him,
Even though he questions my reasons.
Tell him I love him deeply,
Even when he told me to stop.
Because of him I can breathe clearly,
I can rest deeply,
I can be loved wholeheartedly.
