I love you
Lyliana 5d
I love you like the breeze that touches my skin
I love you that I found my hand supporting my chin
I love you that I had to ask myself when did it all begin
I love you that I dance in the hallway when I see you and spin

And I wonder how we never got the chance to talk even if the barrier between us is so thin
I love you that I feel my heart and my brain fighting everyday, wondering who would win

I had my eyes on you from the very first day, like a long-lost twin
I love you like the branch that breaks in the wind,
I love you like a relaxed morning yawn,
I love you like the fresh air I breathe when I go out in the morning just after dawn,
Like the warmth of first light stretching across the lawn

But is this love, or just a dream I’ve drawn?
I don’t even know you, why am I so drawn?
Is it because you are someone to look upon?
Was it really your soul, or just the way the light falls upon your skin, golden like autumn’s fawn

Are you really worth this heaviness or did my mind make you adorn
But does it even matter if you will be gone?
And leave my heart confused and torn
I taste a glimpse of this feeling everytime I don’t sense your presence, and it’s not something I’d like to live upon

What am I even going to mourn?
Memories that never had the chance to be born?
And yet I am still feeling forlorn
Carrying a love that was never worn

I love you like an innocent laugh of a newborn,
I love you like silk on bare skin, newly worn
I love you like a pure heart we have when we are young,
I love you like a trust that keeps you strong,
Like the gentle hum of my favorite song
Like the kind of love that waits so long

I love you even when I know to whom you may belong
I love you even when it all felt so wrong
I love you so much I turned a blind eye on your flaws all along
And I’d love you still, even if you returned to me timeworn
My first unsent letter, written when feelings began to take root

— The End —
