I'm gonna love you until this very love breaks me.
Until my tears turn into blood.
I'm gonna love you to let you know that you deserve every single pretty thing from the world.
I'm gonna love you like it's my first time.
I'm gonna love you and all your brokenness.

I'm sorry, I know I'm still not in the right shape to fix you... nor myself.
But I'll keep on giving.
I'll give until there's nothing left to give anymore.
I'm sorry if ever the time comes I would run dry.
I'll give you all.
That's how I love, anyway. I love with my all. I risk my all.

You got me out of my metaphors and my flowery words because you've shown me a big chunk of reality.
Now I'm writing as is. I'm writing what I'm feeling and what I'm thinking without having to brainstorm any other words to describe everything beautifully.

Today, I'm raw. I'm raw to the flesh. It is yours to take. I've always been yours since day one. The mere fact that what's stopping me to do stupid **** is the thought of you hugging me--just like that morning when you reassured me of your feelings, when you said you love me-- is enough to prove to you that I love you.
You can hold my demons and shape it to butterflies and it scares me because maybe the demons would get back to you and I wouldn't be there or I wouldn't know what to do but just to hug you. I'm sorry if I **** at making things better. I love you so much, just remember.

Now, I'm writing this as a sign of love. And if by any miracle you would read this, just know that this is for you and for you alone. But for now, this would remain as an unspoken truth. I'm sorry I couldn't explain this to you.

You are not a failure. You are not being unfair. You are in the presence of love and entangled deep in its gears. You are enclosed by the pain it emanates. I want to be the one who pulls you out of the dark. Please let me be the one.

Please let me be the subject of your stories.
Please let me be the message of your songs.
Please let me make you happy. I'll try to be, for you.
Please let me give my all.
Please let me have you.
Please, please let me have your entirety.
