love
had a different meaning
before i met you
it was
feeling uncomfortable
but dealing with it
because maybe
he'll stop
feeling uncomfortable
but dealing with it
because nobody liked me
except him
if that's what
you'd call it
feeling uncomfortable
but dealing with it
because at least
they seem to care
meeting you
showed me
love is more
than discomfort
love
is smiling
when i think
of you
love
is feeling wanted
and wanting you
in return
love
is caring for you
like mothers
care for their children
except it's
m o r e
life
meant so much less
before i met you
it was
being too afraid
to create physical scars
to match my mental ones
it was
sitting alone
to avoid the torment
of those i considered friends
because i
had never known
anything else
it was
crying in my room
at night
so no one else could hear
now
i feel my life has purpose
because you
and your friends
are now mine
instead of
just surviving
i'm now
