Raindrops on windows start so small.
They slowly move along
while picking up bits as they go.
They collect more and more
until soon they are too full.
Their decline quickens
and then they smash
into a beautiful catoic display
of falling apart.

Humans are quite like raindrops.

And it wasn't until I met you
that I understood it all.
I knew why people couldn't
stand to be apart.

I knew what it was like to be
up thinking about one person.
I knew what it felt like to
be scared to lose someone.

I knew why kisses mattered.
I knew what it was like to see
a flawed person as flawless.
I knew what it was to love.

Maybe I'm not perfect, but that's okay.
Maybe I never will be, but that's okay.
Maybe I overthink, but that's okay.
Maybe I get nervous, but that's okay.
Maybe I get jealous, but that's okay.
Maybe I care too much, but that's okay.
Maybe I try too hard, but that's okay.
Maybe I stress too much, but that's okay.

Maybe it's okay because you love me.

Run your fingers along my skin
and make me feel alive.
No one else does it like you.
I swear.

I hope you know
I'm not joking
when I say
that I love you, darling.

Because the face is capable
of over a thousand different expressions.

And I know every single one of yours.

When I look at you,
I lose myself.
I lose who I was.
I lose who I am.
I feel heavy.
I feel light.
I feel breathless.
I feel dizzy.
I feel this.  
I feel us.
When I look at you,
I feel forever.

Sometimes I wish I could read her mind, because a lot of the time she can't tell me herself. Sometimes I wish I could see the future, because a lot of the time I imagine her in it. Sometimes I wish she would never leave, because a lot of the time I miss her. Sometimes I wish she was truly mine, because a lot of the time she's all I want.
