Like the dying petals of a carnation
Like the way I feel when you leave
Like the snow in October
Like the candle burnt out
Like the minute the story is over
Like the time it rained on your birthday
Like the time when I mixed colors and they turned black
Like the day when we dug a hole and didn't find any treasure
Like the time my rabbit died...

Like the time you held me and told me you loved me and then took me for a walk and kissed me in the rain and played me a song and made me laugh and made me feel important and then when I went home you called me... and told me that this wouldn't work out
Because
Your mom hates me because I'm suicidal...
I'm not suicidal when I'm with you.
Because
You didn't want to "hurt you again..."
You won't
I don't care
I'm happy as long as I'm with you
You make me keep breathing
You keep my heart beating
You are all I could ever ask for.

I love you.
Like when you wake up to the sunshine
Like when someone kisses you on the cheek
Like when you look into my eyes
Like when we dance
Like when you draw on me
Like when you can't stop laughing and then your stomach hurts
Like when it's cold enough to wear your favorite sweater
Like when it rains in the summer
Like when you find someone perfect

Like when you kissed me.
