The love of my life doesn't have messy blonde hair
or strong arms and blue eyes.
The love of my life doesn't speak my language
or sleep in my bed at night.
The love of my life can't come to dinner at my parent's house
or kiss my lips before he goes to work.
The love of my life will never leave
or dry up
or lie to me
or cheat.
In fact, the love of my life doesn't belong to me.
He is as wide as the Earth and blue as the sky.
He is older than the trees and stronger than fire.
He kisses my toes on the sand and cleanses my sins.
He is everlasting.
He is life-giving and selfless.
The love of my life is God's greatest masterpiece
and every artist's dream.
The love of my life does not judge or condemn.
The love of my life is beauty beyond compare.
Reflecting the sun and the stars and the moon.

The love of my life is the
Sea.

I’m in love with the way you scrunch your nose when you smile at me
I’m in love with the way you dot your I’s and cross your t’s
I’m in love with the way you walk down the street
I’m in love with the way you look when we meet
I’m in love with the way your hair falls in your face
I’m in love with the way you make my heart quicken its pace
I’m in love with the way you find everything funny
I’m in love with the way that you spend your money
I’m in love with the way you hold my hand
I’m in love with the way you listen to your favorite band
I’m in love with the way you speak when you’re drunk
I’m in love with the way you keep me out of a funk
I’m in love with the way you pay attention in class
I’m in love with the way you sit in the grass
I’m in love with the way you refuse to dance
I’m in love with the way you get me in a trance
I’m in love with the way you stare at the sky
I’m in love with the way you make me ask why
Don’t ever change the way that you are
It’s made you perfectly perfect so far
I want you to know that this is all true
When lies had been many and truths had been few
I know that you hurt and I know that it’s hard
Don’t be afraid to let down your guard
I’m in love with the you that’s deep inside
The one you try so hard to hide
Let me love every single bit of you
Honest to goodness I swear that I do

It's a shame that you sleep fine and I'm left sitting on the balcony using my wrist to put out the cigarettes I need to fall asleep.
Why are you okay? Why am I not?
You're the one taking medicine. I'm the one killing myself.
How come you like seeing me so utterly upset when all I want is to see you laugh again?

It's a terrible reality when you realize
What a terrible person you are.

Where do you go?
When the light fades from your eyes and you turn your face from me
Where do you go?
When your smile floats from your lips and you lose yourself
Where do you go?
When I'm not around to feel your heart beat next to mine
Where do you go?
When you watch raindrops collect on your windowsill
Where do you go?
When you see the world without any light
Where do you go?
When I kiss you before you board the plane
Where do you go?
When you don't call me back for days and weeks
Where do you go?
When you refuse to speak when I ask you
Where do you go?
When you can't help but cry in front of a mirror
Where do you go?
It must be a horrible place and I want you to **stay here with me

You and Me are like two and three.
You always come first.

Ever since I first laid eyes on your scars
I knew
I wanted to be your hero
I can't save you
No only you can do that
I am your hero on the sidelines
Cheering you on as you take on the world
Kissing the scrapes and bruises and picking you up when you fall
I am here to make sure you keep going
I cannot save you
I'm just here to remind you that you're worth the effort
I will never leave
I want to be your hero
