My life is a quest.

At least..

It was.

Until I found you again.

Sometimes, you'll flinch away from me,
and I understand, because sometimes,
I can be a little intense..

But the thing is love,
I don't need for you to be happy,
I wish I could help you to be alright.

Because I don't believe in
making someone
"better"
"happy"
"fixed"

I believe in loving someone with my entire heart,
regardless of how broken they may be.

And while I don't know what the future holds,
I know that I love you, with everything I have and more.

Some people believe we are alone in this universe.
I can't agree with that,
because every time I hold you in my arms,
I don't feel alone anymore.

I'm not going for someone
shiny, new and perfect.
I'm not into the fake people,
coated in makeup and covered in false-identities.
I've looked around, and the only things I want are:

1. You
2. See number one

Please.
Never take her away from me,
my heart couldn't take losing her
after holding her close once more.

I know it's a lot to ask,
and it's so selfish of me,
but if something happened to her now...
I don't know what I'd be able to do.

She knows I've flirted with death before,
she understands the call of the void
we've both slid down that thorny *****
emerging with cuts and bruises...
She knows that I'm better now.

I ask for nothing but time with her.
I want the time to memorize her face,
I want time to hold her
even when she doesn't want to hold herself.
I want time to tell her that no matter what happens,
That I love her
That I spend every day thinking about her

And that those things won't change.
Hold her when I'm far away,
comfort her when I'm held up,
keep her safe from all the things I can't,
and most of all...

Please.
Don't take her away.

We sat together,
"holding back" tears,
and we sang.
