i don't need you
to fill the voidwhen i'm drowning
in my thoughts
so late at night
i feel so coldno, you don't
have to fill the voidjust hold my hand
when we're alone
and tell me
that you'll
love me'til our names
are engraved
on stones'cause i don't
see you
as a lifeboatmy best friend,
you are
the one i could love
for you
and not for what you do
for me
and it's truei love
the way you crunch your nose
when you laughi love
the sound of your voice
it takes me to heights unknowni love
staring into your eyes
whenever you smile
i still can't believe you're minei love
the music you make
and the designs you create
your mind is an ocean
i'd want to dive in any dayi love
when you tell me
about your childhood
memories that are
precious to you
i want to be part
of the ones you'll make
in the futurei love
when you talk philosophy
reminds me of the way
i feel for poetryi love
that we like
a lot of the same things
and we get each other's humor
and everything else
it's like we belong togetherand i really hope we do
i could go on
and tell you more
about why i love you
but i'd have to write for hours
and maybe not even be able to
explain my love for you
'cause no words
could ever beenough
and no,
i don't need you
to fill the voidi just want you by my side
as i learn to love myselfi want to be your support
and you, mine
we don't have to
be tied
to each other
but we could
have our hands intertwined
as we go through lifetogether
you're not a prince
no need to save me
just take me
to places you want to goyou're not a bandaid
no need to fix me
just be patient with me
i'm trying, you knowto the edge of the world
i'll follow you'til we catch the stars
and make them ours
