(Dedicated to someone I've known, liked, and loved since 2009.)

I've never been brave enough to tell you this,
But I love you more than words can say.
Although, I don't know if I should say.

I'm not gonna try to fight this anymore,
My heart's been thrown right onto the floor.

I don't want our friendship to be forgotten,
Because somewhere down the road
Lies a bed of snow.

On that bed of snow, we'll lie,
in the middle of the night,
gazing upon a thousand stars,
pointing on the one that's ours.

I wish you knew how good you are,
You've kept me hoping for a long, long time.

I wish you could see thyself thru my eyes,
You're the perfect woman in an imperfect world.

If I could be honest, for just a little while,
These are the words I would speak to you:

You're the highlight of my day,
The reason that I wake.
You're the woman in my dreams,
whom's face I cannot see.
But in my memory,
your face is clear to me.

I never told you how much you mean to me.
You are more than just a pretty face,
You're smart, you're funny, but most of all you're brave.

I don't think you know how brave you are,
You've entered a world full of hatred, war, and pain.
Yet somehow, you're still standing through it all,

I'm not even trying to rhyme no more,
I just write words my heart decides.

I've made mistakes a lot,
Some I made with you.

I wish I never knew you,
So I could meet you for the first time,
All over again.

I remember a night we had,
And I was scared as hell!
We were laying on the couch
And you rest your head on my chest
We weren't doing anything at all,
And it's the best memory I have.

I wish that I could look into your eyes for the first time,
Put your hair behind your ear,
And take you by the hand
And send you across the floor
And take you even closer back.

When life throws a mean right hook,
You dodge and throw one back.
I admire that.

I can look you in the eyes forevermore,
You can always be assured there's a future here with me,
Because I love you more than words can say,
But it is okay if you don't feel the same.

I do not know if we share the feeling that I feel,
I do not know if you will one day break my heart,
But if you did, that would be on me.

Because I know that this is true,
The feeling that I feel for you.

You don't have to love me back,
But my love for you is here to stay,
And I hope that one day
you will be okay with that.
