love is like a roller coaster

♥ thirty six ♥

i want love to be as easy as breathing.
you make the latter difficult.

not breathing when i'm around you,
i don't feel like i'm dying.
you are not suffocating me.
you are giving me life,
even as my lungs fail.
but i'll never be as alive as you.
your eyes are so bright.
it's like there's a lightbulb behind them,
one that never stops glowing.
please, give me that glow.
you don't know how much i need it right now.

you make it seem so simple.
is your mind really as neat as you make it seem?
my clock is starting to go away.
i don't know how you do it.
i'm still struggling.
you say you are too.
it's nice to not be so alone for once.
you make everything okay.
it's just...
you.
