They say

“You don’t choose who you fall in love with”

But I did.
In the end of it
I did
Because I could have chosen
To walk away
Every time you started
To run
But every time
I stood still
I chose you.
And I’m afraid this time
You might be gone for good
And I still choose you.
.
I could have ran too.

Give me a word
And I will write you a novel
Give me your hand
And I will give you the world
This is not the cry
Of a desperate heart
This is the outpouring
Of the purest love
Know that whatever you give me
I will return one hundred fold
Please do not mistake this
For weakness
Please understand this
For all that it is
I will give you a love
Deeper than the oceans
Even on the days
When all you can muster
Is a raindrop
This is not desperation
This is love
This is sacrifice
This is all it means
To love with all you are

When I came back
To a ghost town
I thought your phantom
would still reside
..
somehow I am far more haunted
by your absence

How did I give my heart
To a silly little boy
With trembling hands
And half a heart
He wasn’t even sure
How to use
.
I mistook you for a man
...
My apologies

You ease my cautious soul
My dear, you do not know
How difficult this is to do
.
Bringing out the wild girl
