Don't let me fall for you;
I will kiss every inch of your face until you can't breathe from laughter.
I will wash your body in the shower and kiss all the parts you don't like.
I will write you thick letters and leave you silly notes in unexpected places.
I will paint for you and do anything that will make you smile.
I will let you take your anger out on me
again and again and again
then accept your sorry *** back with arms wide open.
I will drive the two hours home to stay the night with you in the hospital,
I will stay up all night and sing to you
and touch my lips to your forehead with the softest breath.
I will lay awake fretting over whether your threat was empty or if I'm going to get an earth-shattering call in the morning.
I will tell you again and again how beautiful I find you and how special you are in this universe.
I will hold you close and memorize the sound of your heartbeat.
I will write poems about the unique shade of your eyes and the intoxicating way smoke rolls out from between your lips.
Don't let me fall for you;
I will love you until my last breath.
My dear, I believe it's too late.
