I wish someone was there for me like I am for you
I don't need a happy ending, a good one will do
I don't need a big castle, or a princess crown
I just need someone to hug me when I'm down

I don't need expensive gifts, or anything at all
I just need someone to catch me as I fall
I don't need perfection or anything close
I just need someone who loves me the most

I need someone that cares, and holds my hand
Someone who laughs, and takes me to a far away land
I need someone to tell me everything will be alright
And that my dreams are forever in my sight

I just need someone to live with, laugh with, love with
Someone who understands that I am not a myth
I need someone who needs someone too
I need someone
And that someone...is you

... The only thing that hurts
is knowing that someone else
sees you through my eyes.

In a world begging to share perspective,
I hide mine like a cat's treasure
in crevices,
old corners,
poems,
laughter,
concern,
dismissal
and comfortable silences.

In a world where we're begging for company,
I'd rather be the only one who thinks you're
a lone star in the city's night sky,
a leaf in my old books and new,
sunshine on a windy day in autumn —
sunshine, always.

My eyes may grow old and go blinder
But, love, the light in your eyes must never fade.
There is so much universe inside you —
my universe —
and I struggle to keep up with everything that you are and everything I made you in my head.

You're my fantasy,
mine to make true.
It's probably why they say love is akin to madness.
You're not too far from delusion
or too close to reality
at any point of time,
till you crash and burn.

The light in your eyes still burns
and I burn along with it.

The internal pain
Has struck me again.
Turning me blue
Hating everything I do.
Taking me down
Hearing me drown.

But **** it,
I will never submit.
