My thoughts can destroy me
But my mind is also the thing
That keeps me going
It allows me to think
And have in my head
The fantasies
And the ideas
That I have of you
Without my mind
I wouldn't be able to think
About how beautiful you are to me
And how you're the only thing
That keeps me breathing
On a daily basis
You put the smile on my face
While I can only manage to
Roll my eyes
Or scoff at others
I sometimes wonder
What it is about you
That I love so much
That gives me hope
And fills me with a peace
That I can't find anywhere else
You make me laugh
And you make me think
You allow me to look at the world differently
You're so new in every way
I'm fascinated by all you ever say
I just keep wanting more
Of all that you are
You make my heart beat
When it only seems to be torn down
You nourish it
With your bright spirit
And I never want you to leave
