How can I show you I care about more than just your looks or the clothes that you wear?
How can I make you understand all I need to be happy is to hold your hand?
I know guys hurt you in the past and it doesn't mean much when we say we're different; that we're going to last.
So I won't say any of that. I'll just keep on loving you until you love me too.
Even if that never happens, there's one thing I need to make sure is clear. Every day I spend with you makes me smile ear to ear

Sometimes when I can't sleep at night
I reread your letters to me to feel at ease
And every time you and I have a fight
I know that every low moment just leads
To more highs of embracing you completely in love
Embracing you in my heart
And more than anything in heaven above
I just want to be a part
Of the reasons you laugh and smile,
The reasons you tremble with joy and glee,
And despite the distance, despite every mile
I know that you and I will always just be
Fine in knowing that love is infinite, love is eternal
Your voice is the calm wind on a sea
Your smile is the fire raging in a furnace
Your laughter is the old friend I love to greet
Your soul is the infinite love beneath your surface
I know I can be a bit much on some days
I know I can be less than the perfect man
But I will try now and will try always
Because the only thing I want is to hold your hand
Is our friendship over?
If so that's okay. I know
people come and go
But I don't want to let
Something meant to be to
Leave when it's in my power
To change. If the door is closed
I can accept that and move on
But if the door is still open
And your hand is still on this side
I will gladly grab it and hold on.
Something pulls me to the door,
Some thought, some intuition,
That wants to see. Something that wants
To know if the door really is closed.
Something tells me it is not.
So here I am, at the door,
Looking for your hand.
