Everyone can afford dreams
But I was the biggest shopper
Shoving condos and benzes into my cart
No cashier at the exit to demand payment

I picked lavish expensive charms
Had no worries about pennies
Everything was costless
Blessings from the gods

I was younger then I grew a little older
I kept shopping for expensive dreams
With time I encountered little snags
I couldnt get out of the mall with my immense goods

So I bargained with my conscience
Drop this and pick that
What was lighter I thought was better
So I chose those that were easier

Years went by and I learnt lessons little by little
A sister had shopped for the Whitehouse
And arrived home with a highschool
The question is can you carry what you pick?

A friend had shopped for the most
Yet arrived home with the least
So I selected the lightest
But when I packed, my car wouldn't budge

I further reduced my pricey costless goods
Albeit grudgingly,promising myself
I would come back for them
But **** there are no second rounds

As I grew older and older
I found myself driving home
With only a few of those costless goods
They were not even the biggest and priciest

They were what I could carry
Every time I stop by that dream shop
To do some window shopping
And say I wish
Looking back at life

I hope I live to see lazy mornings
To wake up to your face, hair falling all about it
Soft sleeping expression
Beautiful and gentle
Like the sunlight filtering through the curtains

I hope I live to see lazy mornings
To move the stray wisps away from your face and stroke your cheek
Hold you closer
Warm, like the blankets I used to cling to when I was lonely

I hope I live to make you breakfast
And to kiss your smile
Pull you back to bed to watch movies
Like nothing matters but our own little world

And you fit right in my heart
With fairy lights
And good books
And lazy mornings
And the sunlight filtering through the curtains
Kissing your skin
'you' is a hypothetical future significant other/significant others, not a specific person in this case

"I love you"
I'm sitting on the fence of something big
I'd jump it if you'd jump it with me
Stumble onto the other side
Even if we don't stick the landing

"I love you"
But maybe not in the way you want me to
Maybe too much
I give my heart away, put it in your pocket
I'm not good with almosts
And "once upon a time"

"I love you"
I will sit here, loyal as a dog
While you figure out where to stand
And I'll pretend it doesn't **** me
While I can, if I can

"I love you"
It's too cold in here
You give me your jacket
But you will not sit beside me to huddle for warmth

"I love you"
Every endearment is laced with my heart
I'm not fond of empty words
You are so beautiful

"I love you"
I will be here
Wherever this goes
Or doesn't

But "I love you" really means I love you
So much
And I can't quite describe the feeling
Of loving two people
Giving my whole heart
And only receiving a quarter in return from either

I do not aim to guilt or hurt
But it hurts
It hurts
My Poly *** is Suffering™
I have way too many emotions please turn them off
