Dear Santa
I don't ever ask you for anything
not because I don't believe in you
I just don't like to ask for things
I feel selfish when I do
Out of all of the things a woman my age could possibly want
this is all I truly desire this year
All I want for Christmas is true love
the kind of love people obsess over in songs and books
I want kisses that feel like electricity exploding
that feeling of someones hand in mine causing more goosebumps on my skin better than any snowfall ever could
I want deep conversations that prolong into the early morning and breakfast at 12pm because we slept in late
after being up all night
I want passion so real it scares the **** out of me but it's okay because I have someone to share that he passion with
I want care rides full of laughter over things most people are too uptight to laugh about
I want a connection to someone so intense I can't describe it with words
I want the good, the bad and the ugly that comes with true love
I know true love isn't perfect but that's what makes it real
It's messy, complicated and scary
but I'm brave enough to want it
Without love life is empty
whether it be a romantic love,
platonic love,
love for your family or pets
Love is magical
I just want someone to share the magic with
I know what I'm asking for is impossible and a little weird
but it's all I would love to have for Christmas this year

I want to love you in a way
no other woman has before
I am aware of your previous relationships
I understand the insecurities you have
yet as time goes on you grow more distant
and I'm beginning to question what I'm doing wrong
The closer I try to get to you
the further you pull away
You hear me cry in bed
and you ignore me anyway
It's getting to the point I'm sad so much
that I'm becoming physically sick
and when I ask you if you still love me
you yell at me for asking such a question
I've stopped wishing to feel your embrace
as the cool autumn nights set in
I've begun to prepare myself
for something I know is sure to happen

You are complex and quiet
You prefer to be alone
and you keep to yourself in a crowd full of people
You have a big heart
yet whenever someone tries to love you romantically
you keep them at arms length
You don't speak a lot but when you do
you don't need to say a lot to get your point across
You have seen, tasted and felt evil
yet you continue to choose to do the right thing
When I want to give up
you toughen me up
When I yell at you
you don't make a fuss
You let me be by myself to deal with my anger
then get me off of my *** and teach me to channel it better
You see greatness in me that I cannot see with my own eyes
You tell me the raw truth
when everyone else lies
You don't think twice when I call you for help
You don't allow me to give up
you push me to be a better version of myself
If I want to cry you let me
but I better be running if I do
When I feel like I don't belong in this world
you don't make me feel inferior to you
Instead you stand me up
look me in the face and remind me of my self worth
You encourage me to face my past
even though it will hurt
Even with all of your demons you fight internally on a daily basis
you never hesitate to hold my hand
You made me the strong person I am today
You are my Batman

You held me in your arms
that rainy Friday night
In your arms all I did was cry
all of the tears I held inside
You squeezed me tight and whispered
"honey don't cry
don't cry
you will be alright
I will be here
anytime you need me
just yell my name
I will be here to listen
to wipe your tears away
and kiss your beautiful face."

You held your hand in mine
that snowy Saturday night
You kissed my hand two times
as stars shone in your eyes
I smiled at you as you grabbed me and said
"honey I love you
I love you
I'm madly in love with you
I can listen to you laugh all night
you constantly take me by surprise
there is no where else I would rather be
than with you tonight
you're every dream I've ever dreamed
every wish I ever made
I will love you for eternity
as long as you will have me."

The razor whispered
"use me
I'll take away your pain
I'm the key to making all of your problems
disappear for good
Just let me get a taste of your skin
Please"
As she ran her delicate fingers over the shiny blade
that once used to help her she grew angry
She was angry for ever using it in the past to harm herself when life got intense
She was angry for currently holding it in her hands
and she was angry for allowing her mind to go to such a dark place after she had fought for years to get out of it
Now she was here holding the key to a hell she didn't think she could come back from twice
She heard the razor whisper once more
then chucked it so far into the ocean never to be used again
She looked down at the scars on her arms that were still visible yet healed and said
"not this time."

I had a dream about you last night
It felt so real
I could feel your arm around me as I slept
I could feel your breathing on my back
causing my skin to form goosebumps
The warmth from your body against mine
just felt so right
It felt so good to be in your arms
But then I woke up
and I felt sad
Your arm was not around me
You weren't breathing on my back
I felt cold
You were never there
it was just a dream

When I first met you
you took my breath away
When you first said my name
my walls all broke away
When you first smiled at me
my heart just went insane
When you first grabbed my hand
my life was never the same
We are colors crashing in the sky
We are stars colliding in the night
We are storms dancing to the sound of our souls
We are lovers dying to love

So kiss me as long as you want to
Don't worry about stopping I don't want you to
Just take me as I am flaws and all
We are colors crashing in the sky

When you first told me I was you rock
I said you are are mine too
When we had our first fight
you yelled I can't live without you
And we danced and we danced and we danced
until neither one of us was angry
With my head on your shoulder I heard you whisper
you are my soul mate
And I said

Kiss me as long as you want to
Don't worry about stopping I don't want you to
Let me take you as you are scars and all
We are colors crashing in the sky

And we danced and we danced and we danced
until the world around us disappeared
And we laughed and we laughed and we laughed
until happiness was all we could hear
The kaleidoscope of our colors
getting stronger and stronger and stronger
And we entered a world where neither of us
could ever lose each other

And we kissed as long as we wanted to
Stopping was never an option
because we never wanted to
And we took each other as we are
scars, flaws and all
We are colors crashing in the sky
We are stars colliding in the night
We are storms dancing to the sound of our souls
We are lovers dying to love
As the kaleidoscope of our colors
gets stronger and stronger and stronger
