i love you
that's all there is to say
you stand by me
when i need it
and i will always do the same

you keep me sane
and when the darkness comes
i can think of you
and everything you've ever said to me
and how your hugs feel like home

i have trust issues
i'll be slow to open up
memories and feelings
held under lock and key
but i have faith
that you might crack my code
the enigmas that are my emotions
may be no problem for you to solve

love
is a fickle thing
something treasured by you and me
but i think it will thrive
when and if
cared for properly
