I want to show you the beautiful parts of love
It seems as though you don't think there's any
but there is
like late night phone calls
rushing to see each other at 3 a.m. just for a cuddle in a kiss
being able to call each other crying
holding each other and not wanting to let go
love is a beautiful thing if you open your doors and let it in
I wish I could show you

I appreciate the way you smirk
I appreciate the way you calm me down
I appreciate the way you me laugh
I appreciate the way you hold my hand
I appreciate the way you always listen
I appreciate the way you pull me close
I appreciate the way you kiss me
I appreciate the way you miss me
I appreciate the way you think
I appreciate the way you feel
I appreciate the way you act
I appreciate the way you believe
I appreciate your motivation
I appreciate your wit
I appreciate your eyes
I appreciate your lips
I appreciate your mind
I appreciate your love
but most of all
I appreciate us.

If I had never met you...
If I had never met you, maybe I'd be sleeping right now
Maybe your ghost wouldn't linger at my back or on my lips
Maybe I'd be hand in hand with someone else
And not feel guilty anymore
If I had never met you maybe this pit wouldn't be here
Maybe my mind would be clear
Maybe my breaths wouldn't be sighs
If I had never met you maybe I still wouldn't believe in love
Maybe I still would believe in myself
Maybe I would be happily alone

There's an emptiness next to me that you never filled
but I had always wished you did
we caress each other without touching
we're close enough that hairs raise with goosebumps
it's electric
the story isn't happy
no, it's stressful
annoying
difficult
all things that we didn't expect to follow love
before we knew what love was
How innocent we once were
the four letter word is thrown out in desperation
as a plea of "don't leave me"
yet I did anyway
and so did you
we were electric
a beautiful strike of light that would appear and trickle away
slowly

and here I sit
wishing for you to talk to me
wishing things were different
wishing you would love me
in all the ways you could
wishing that our love could
finally be understood
it's 11:15
and here I sit
doubting that our love will
ever be present
looking at my phone and
seeing no missed call
feeling fists in my stomach
wanting to feel nothing at all
it's 11:20
and my wishes still aren't true
sometimes I think my wishes
aren't supposed to be about you

my brows furrow
my skin tightens
my stomach turns
because I'm frightened

It's almost as if you reach for my hand but if I reach back you drop it to your side
It's almost as if you call my name but say nothing if I call yours
It's almost as if you want to show me to the world but you hide me from it
It's almost as if you love me but don't know how
