Cold comfort

You and I

I think love is a very complex emotion
Maybe one of the hardest to decipher
It's laughing at jokes that you don't find funny
And crying simply because the one you love is in pain
Love is sitting in silence when you don't know what to say
And saying everything you feel all at once
Maybe I'm wrong
Maybe love is something different entirely
And I just can't seem to figure it out
But I know that I'd rather sit in silence with you
Then listen to even the most beautiful songs ever created
I'd rather spend eternity in hell with you
Than spend my life in heaven with anyone else
Maybe love isn't the word to describe what we have
Maybe it's the simplest way to describe what I feel for you
I know that I can't heal all of the wounds that are bound in your soul 
But I'll sit by your side until you're ready to stitch yourself up
I will be your warmth until you're ready for the sun
And the one you lean on until you can stand on your own
Because with you,
Even in my deepest sadness
I feel something
I feel strength and weakness
But most of all I feel wanted
So I promise to stay
To help you heal and teach you how to love
To be a familiar face when you don't recognize yourself
Because so far, something even stronger than love
Has led me to you and kept me by your side
So maybe love is exactly what I think it is
Maybe love is you
