my love is built
to hold and
protect you

let me show you
the things I see
let me wipe the dirt off your face.

& I will cleanse your eyes
and paint you in the finest gold.

because in my eyes,
broken you will never be.

You said you know more about love than me, and maybe that’s true but that doesn’t mean you’ve known the right kind of love

I imagine you in Paris.
Imagine you back where we met,
the exact spot we fell apart.
& I wonder of all the places
you’ve gone since me.

So I catch you, lose you
Try to find you again,
where did you go?

Please just look past all the mess I’ve made
I’m so tired of pretending,
Of holding it all inside.

Please look at my heart,
I have so much love left to give.

Here’s to hoping you
found your way back to Italy
and you’re so madly
in love you’ll never stop to doubt.
