i wouldn't say it's love
but it's something close to that
i'd never wanna see you hurt
i just want you to be happy
and i wanna be the reason
behind that smile
i wouldn't say it's love
i don't think i'd cry when you leave me
but i'd be pretty devastated
and close myself off for while
until i'm back to normal again
i know i'll be just fine
i wouldn't say it's love
but it's also not because i'm lonely
i'm alright on my own
i love being alone
and there are people i can talk to
i don't think i really need you
but as much as i wouldn't say it's love
i want you
the good parts and the bad parts of you
the things you're too afraid to say to any other soul
the songs you sing when no one's watching
the jokes you tell and can't stop laughing about
the dreams you're so passionate about
the books you'd read again and again
the words you pronounce differently from the way i do
the tears, the fears, the hurting
the long talks late at night when
you're awake but slightly sleeping
i want every little thing about you
so, no, i wouldn't say it's love
but it's something close to that
