I think I love you…
Now, I know it’s not the way you want
And I wish to god that I could offer you more
I wish I could fall…
But as I longingly search I discover a different love
A deep love – true
But not my one and only
I hope you understand

I will continue to think of you
Even as you pull away
I will always care
Even when you don’t want me to
Or think I don’t remember
I do. And I will.
You do not know
And will never truly know
The positive impact that you and your love
Has had on my being and the universe captured by my eyes
You have opened those eyes and shown me love

A self-less love
That has shed light on my darkest days
That has held me tight and let me cry without judgement
That has been full of acceptance even when I couldn’t accept myself
That has jumped to my aid at any chance with a determined stubbornness
That has shown interest in my every thought like no one ever has
That has brought me a joy I didn’t know was possible
That has created smiles and laughs that I will cherish beyond my lifetime

I realize you want to walk out of my life
That this dream is not sustainable
And I have to let you go
But I don’t want to
I love you
I love you
I hope you know – I. love. you.
