& every time I see that smile,
Or hear your voice-
Whether it be full of concern,
Or radiating with joy-
The ice that surrounds my heart.
Slowly begins to melt away.
& every time you tell me a story,
Or share with me how your day went-
The butterflies that once died in my stomach,
Begin fluttering back to life.
Slowly- one by one, they spread their wings and fly.
& every time you smile at me,
Like I am the best thing in the world-
Or how you insist that I am beautiful,
Even when I know I am not-
I slowly begin feeling again-
Happiness.
Excitement.
Love.
You bring out the best side of me,
Even when I would rather not show it.
I would prefer you think I am a monster-
It would make things easier.
But here we are,
Miles apart from each other's arms-
& I can't help myself,
Every single day I fall for you a little bit more.
Just promise me one thing-
Don't allow me to walk to the edge-
& free fall into nothing.
Catch me with your warm ebrace.
Because I don't want you to end up being,
Just another love song.
That I cry my eyes out to every night.
I want you to be the anchor that holds me firmly to the ground.
I want you to be exactly who you are.
Nothing more.
Nothing less.
Your smile actually meets your eyes,
& your laugh is genuine.
Please don't end up being love song.
