Life is Short; make it Sweet

To the Poet,

If I don’t tell you I love you, it’s because I really love you

Its because I’m scared to love you

Is this how it feels to love someone more than they love you?

Ive always been in the driver seat, but

Now this isn’t the Lauren show

Everything you are, so imperfectly perfect

And you call me on my shit, and I love it

Is this how it feels to love someone more than they love you?

 

Here’s what you know

Ill be there for you, always

Build family, friends, all of it

You know we are different but so much the same

The adventurer, the wanderer

The lover and giver

The loyal friend that would do anything

You know it’ll be fire & water and so much fun

You know that you can picture me as the one

Is there so much more that you need to know?

 

Tell me

Is this how it feels to love someone more than they love you?

 

Here’s what I know

That everyday I’ll have a smile on my face

And put one on yours

I want to learn from you, grow with you, hear about your dreams

And everyday I’ll fight for us

You come home to me, and me to you

We can travel the world without a plan

I want to be your wife, and hold your hand

Only with all five fingers intertwined

Baby you cant ignore the signs

Tell me

 

It wouldn’t be fair not to give you time

You ain’t the only one with a lonely mind

But tell me if she fills your soul like I do

You may not be ready but I’ll wait for you

I wouldn’t believe you if you said it wasn’t true

Tell me you love me, and I’ll tell you

& I’ll tell you

Love from Heartbreak
