The few words you spew

Give me no reassurance.

I put in endless effort

Because I truly love you.

 

Loving you has opened

More passages into my heart

Than I knew existed.

 

I was once so bitter

I wanted to be alone.

So sure it was set in stone,

And then there you were.

 

I'm feeling true love for the first time

But nothing has really happened yet.

I'm feeling true heartbreak for the first time

But nothing has really happened yet.

 

I don't sleep

I overthink

I get my hopes up

But I drown when they sink.

 

Honestly I'm just rambling

I can't contain these feelings

They pour, pour, pour out of me

As so does my love for you.
