It's hard for me to think of how fast I fell in love with you
I fell deep into a unrequited love with you
definition of unrequited love : "it's like drowning but you just won't ******* die"

How do I love thee?
Let me count the ways...
I love you to the heavens and planets and stars
   my soul can reach, though they be out of sight
      for the ends of the sky and everlasting grace.
I love you to the level of everyday's
   most deafening want, by sun and candlelight.
I love you freely,
   as women seek Equality.
I love you purely,
   as they turn from Normality.
I love you with an unused passion,
   with my past, and with my ever-aging soul.
I love you with a love that I believed I had given away --
I love you with every smile, laugh, tear... all of my life! --
And if God willing,
I will love you until the last breath is drawn from my mouth.
"Let Me Count The Ways" by Yoko Ono was the inspiration for this rewrite :)
the original by Elizabeth Barrett Browning has a slight rhyme and meter, but I threw both out of the window...

Fill up my every pore
I don't want to feel anymore
This pain is too real
Too much to feel
Take it all away
Just for one day

There is a time and there is a place
I love to feed the monster inside
Maybe one day I’ll see your lovely face
Baby tell me one more time you need me
Let it grow to the size of your sin
I just wish you could see
How much I love you
I’d do anything for you
Anything for you
Put on that smile I wear so well
As you fake naïve and pretend it isn’t me
Our lips touch as quickly as the razor to my skin
They share a similar depth and pain
You hold me close and I believe your lies
I’d do anything for you
Anything for you
I whisper I love you
You nod like you care
But the silence speaks loud

Can you conceive?
How do you believe?
What do you construct?
Thoughts in mind are tucked
No choice which house you are born
When death visits some will celebrate
Others mourn.
There was a brief moment
when your head was on my shoulder
and all I could think about
was how that's something I take for granted.
Not you, necessarily, but
the way you hold me

the way you put your head on my shoulder

the way you look at me

It all makes me feel so strongly for you
because it's in those moments
I know you feel the
same way too.

~pw
You doubt my happiness because
it has been too long
since you have smiled
without straining your smirk.
