I like
Who I am
When I’m with
Her
Two plus two is four

One plus one equals two

And perhaps it's also true

That love is equal to me plus you.
I can't help this feeling for you. I'm sorry that I'm like this...
He said I was beautiful...

But he followed that with the words,

"But we're better off as just friends."
I got my hopes up again. Maybe it's better for everyone if I just shove any thought of hope out of my head.
Everything about him murmurs,
'Welcome home.'
He's tranquillity in my endless storms,
my pinpoint of light in the darkest night,
my shelter from everything.
He's willing to fight for me,
fall for me,
care for me.
And me?
I'm hoping that I can do everything within my power to be worthy of this amazing man.
'Welcome home,'
he murmurs, his arms open and warm.
'Welcome home.'

alone to pick up the pieces 
of a love that never was
