I mean I want to wake up next you this morning,

                                    the next morning

                                                                             and every morning after

I mean, I am ready to carve your smile in my memory, 
so even if I lose touch of myself I will not lose sense of you

when I say I love you,

I mean I will fight your demons before mine
I mean, I will write the letters you'll never read,
and spell the words before every poem, and after every prayer

when I say I am here for you,
I mean, you will always be my first thought after a fight
you will always be the exception of my every rule,
I mean, I will be the first soldier in your battle ground,
I mean I am ready to fight your battles for you, when you would not cross a street to see me,

so when I say I want you,
I mean it in every pathetic and romantic way there is
in the ways movies has not explored yet,
not even like Romeo and Juliette,
I will live for you, to see you die before I ever do,

f u c k

when I say I want you
 
I mean, I will always be yours,
                                               even when I am no longer mine
