Haunted By Love

If I confessed that I loved you;
Would you imagine I’d do so with expectations?
Take a look over here do you see the open door?     
You can be yourself here and; 
Guess who you’ll see?
       Maybe you think I’m crazy;
       But really that’s how I love you.
       I love you like crazy and that’s all that matters to me;
      And I’ll never stop being crazy in love with you.
As a matter of fact girl;
I’m not sure I’ve ever known what love is;
Since I’ve come to know you;
But I don’t know what else this could be.
    I’ve missed you; have you felt me hoping?
    How many times I’ve wished I was with you;
   But instead I must travel this emptiness with out you;
   Carrying this bag of empty wishes; not likely to be filled.
