things I want you to know before you tell me you love me
by harshhappens
- I will always be willing to listen to your
stories, and will forever want to hear them.
Your words are as good as music to me.
- There will be days where the sun feels cold to
me and I am made a prisoner to my deepest fears.
There will be nights where I wake up sobbing,
just as much a prisoner as I was during the day.
Be gentle, be patient with me.
- I smile at everyone I make eye contact with on the street.
- I love in an earnest manner that can be
overwhelming. I am not malevolent,
but rather I have spent years being told
that my feelings aren’t worth listening to,
and I just have a lifetime’s worth of love to give.
- If you manage to hold what I can throw at you,
you’ve found someone in your
corner that won’t go without a fight.
- You’ll never see me fighting anyone.
- I’ve worried I’m too vulnerable for far too long;
I am raw and unadulterated and unabashedly so.
I refuse to inhibit what I have to say.
- I will give you all that I have and more;
please don’t take advantage of this.
- I will write about you, I will write about how
I feel, I will write about someone I once loved
and about how I once felt. Words and feelings
are fleeting, but they are also powerful.
- I will ask you questions until I’ve found out
everything there is to know about you-
including things you never thought about.
- I have friends who will call me in the dead of
night; I will answer the phone, I will drive to
their house with their favorite dessert in tow.
- I will pull over on the side of the road if the
clouds are compelling enough. I can sit for hours
watching the sun set or water fall. Either hold my hand
and join me, or let me be overwhelmed by something
greater than myself in peace.
- No one can or will love you the way that I do;
take that as my most horrid vice, or my most endearing virtue.
