I take what I can get
While you give it
I think about how I missed having that
Valentines date with you last year
I took my mom to Eddie V’s instead
And I thought about why you disappeared again
I love you so much
I’ve been waiting for another chance, and I was unsure if you had even been interested in one
Life doesn’t feel as good when you aren’t in it
Even when it’s good
I know it could be great
All of these meals and memories
I want to share them with you
And from the moment you left your wedding
I’ve only ever loved you
Or tried to find people who remind me of you
I don’t want to wait to see you again
I want to hug you and touch your hands
I want to talk to you for hours

I just came here to say
I love you

A hopeless romantic thinks they will crumble when their soulmate builds a life with someone else
But a logical person knows we can survive this, if we push on
And that suffering can be so much worse
Do you think if you couldn’t see the sunrise anymore
You would still miss it
Or wouldn’t it just become your new normal

It doesn’t matter if I can’t see you
hear you,
or even speak to you sometimes
It could be 8 years
Or 1 year
And I always feel the same
You bring me to my knees

Sometimes I think about how I have only been with people since you
To get over you, to move on with life
And yet
I wish in the small moments I had
I hadn’t been so caught up in everything else
To seize getting you back
Would you have seen me again? I never tried because I was thinking you’d say no.
I have not stopped loving you since I saw you again, not for one moment
Looking for you in everyone else, but it never comes close
I love you so much though I feel like I could be here forever and it’d be ok
I keep waiting and waiting for anything to fall back into place with you and I
It always comes back to you
You you you

I open my eyes and
There you are in my mind
Can’t I please hold you again

Give me a sign
That you feel this way too
But deep down
Nothing need be said
I know the truth
About me and you
Love love love
