I have loved you before I knew what love meant, before I could cry and think of you as nothing. I have loved you before you were a man, before people started losing faith in you and seeing you as less, before you cried about what the world has done to you and I love you still.

My love is imprinted beyond the stars our eyes see, the stars our sky shows, beyond the realm our faith knows; my love is infinite, shallow in the face of those who don’t understand but to me is faith itself. Its yours to hold and leave, misuse and ignore, its too powerful for me to control or do anything about, whatever you want it to be even nothing, it will always be.

I can’t change who you are, how you are always in my thoughts, how I look for you in everything I do and wish my presence is known to you even if I’m not because you are now a part of me I don’t know how to erase only to ignore. To me you are the beginning, the end, forever and beyond; in this life and the next.

You are the love my eyes search for, my hands couldn’t hold onto, my heart couldn’t forget, my soul couldn’t erase, my thoughts start with and myself is. Now far away, so far it feels like I am someone new without what makes them themselves, I cry because it wasn’t enough for you to look for me and wait, you found me in…in someone else yet your eyes are still searching.

Love is too small a word to name what I feel for you, hurt as I am; I know knowing you breathe is enough for me to spend the rest of my life only watching you live. I can never explain, I can never say what it is you make me feel, and they will always tell me what it is yet knowing what lies in a place no one can ever reach, I know in this life I have a feeling that is worth more than moments. Unfortunate and tragic as our story has turned out, yours is the only name I will say before I fall asleep.

I was yours, I am yours, I will be yours. Our story is as it should be and always hasn’t ended if my eyes open when the sun rises. I can say I love you but love is simple, I can say I hate you but hate is cloudy. What I feel, I’m still searching for what it means…

Yours truly

Lover
