A little love
goes a long way

Sometimes I feel like you
seem to forget
that we're on the same team,

and where love lies,
egos die.

Instead of know yourself,
Better yourself

I promise myself peace and serenity,
yet I strike at the first glance of a storm,

I think I know who I am,
but then doubt enters my heart
at the first introduction of confusion,

I prepare myself for the worst,
forgetting that good even exists,
like an infant,
believing that the sun has really disappeared
when it's just hiding behind a cloud

i confused
honey-dipped words
for unconditional love,

possessiveness
for protectiveness,

holding me back
for wanting me close, (as holding me close)

infatuation
for adoration,

and desire for devotion.

love me
like you really see me,
like you really need me,
like it's the only thing you were meant to do.
