i love you like waves love the sand
because loving you is so much like being a grain of sand
and getting pulled in by the waves
like how you
pull me close and
draw me in
with your many wonders
so undiscovered so new
each time i discover more
i fall even harder
deeper into your depths
like the darkest parts of the ocean
never finding the bottom
but always finding more beauteous wonders
from the way your able to light the darkest places
like the jellyfish that shine in the midnight
you have my heart now
like the ocean has each of its creature
i need you
like each creature needs the oceans protection
i give you my heart forevermore
because i am constantly drowning in your waters
a grain of sand floating in your vastness

you make me smile
even though my body is betraying me
with the sounds of screams that arent real
and pain that isn't there

you make me smile
even though my body is betraying me
with memory i wish i didn't have
and flashes of color that arent there

thank you for making me smile
even when the tears stream down my face
because without you
i would have no one to give my love to

i let you scream at me at me
because i know its not at me
no its at the stage
its at the lights
its at the speakers
i just happen to be at the receiving end

i let you scream at me
being careful not to tell you about my week
careful not to tell you how i swallowed my tears
careful not to let you see the panic attacks
but they hurt
but there there
even though i let you yell at me

i break the ice
so they dont see how i break inside
i have to be kind
or they'll make fun of my size
i get told I'm to loud
and i have to keep busy
I'm sorry if i don't respond please don't forget me

i let them keep me around
so there flaws just seem silly
i say I'm okay
or they wont listen to what i need to say
i get told I'm not pretty
and i refuse to be to proud
I'm sorry if i think i sing well when you cant

i love you
not for what you have
but for how you make me feel
your the stuck i my head
your face replaying in the forefront of my memory
your smile stuck in my head

i love you
not for what you have
but for the warmth you bring me
your every touch
lighting my entire body on fire
you love sticking to my bones

she is the moon shining bright
but she is only bright thanks to him
for he must first exist for her to truly shine
he is not the sun
no he's far from that
his job is far more important than simply burning for her
he does burn for her in a different sense
for he is the darkness that surrounds her
holding her
loving her
making sure shes all the brighter in his arms

when i first met you
the world had beat me so far down
i was all the way at the bottom
id given up on climbing back out
then you saw me and excepted everything
even my past
now everything's brighter
i thank you for that
