Loving you is exhausting But exquisite and intricate and haunting The kind of love that lingers like the smell of smoke From the candles in my bedroom The kind of love that touches the crevices in my body That no one has reached out to touch before And yet there you are In my veins, in my heart, holding me Loving you is all I can do darling I knew from the moment we spoke That I would want you forever And that is my promise to you. Loving you isn't easy Because loving you makes me crazy and insecure and worried But loving you is a new journey that I am taking A sacrifice that I am making Something I must get used to; loving you.
