I Love You, I Think

Last night, I had a dream.
A dream of you and I.
You were gorgeous and shy,
While I was loving and kind.

We watched a play and had dinner,
Laughter rang through the air.
We slept in the same bed,
We hugged and kissed as much as we dared.

You were here.
With me.

Then, I woke up.
I looked around for you,
Before remembering that you weren't there.

I stopped in my tracks,
Wondering what the dream could mean.
Did I love you like that?
Did I want you to be with me?

Yes.
Yes,
The answer was yes.
I did.
I do.

I want to hold your hand,
And cuddle with you throughout the night.
I want to kiss away your sorrows and tears,
Until morning light.

I love you.
I love your smile and your laugh.
I love your eyes and your hair.
I love it when you flirt.
I love it when you care.
I hate it when you're sad,
When people do you wrong.
I hate it when you cry,
And you feel like you don't belong.

Those thoughts did I think,
Smiling so wide, my cheeks hurt.

But then,
I stopped,
I frowned,
I looked down.

People tell me you're bad for me,
That I need to stop talking to you.
That you're toxic and too depressed,
That you're bringing me down with you.

I won't let them.
I won't let them tell me how to live my life.
You're so good inside,
You just need to let yourself fly.

I will be your light in the dark,
The star at night,
The water in the desert,
The plane that will take you high.

You're perfectly imperfect.
I can see it in you.
I will be your helping hand.
I will be true.

I will dive into the dark waters,
That try so hard to take you away from me.
I will pull you out,
And set you free.

I will do it again,
And again,
Until you stop going back to those waters.
Until they tempt you no more.

You live miles away,
You haven't had a good home life,
You struggle every day,
To wake up and let yourself shine.

But I love you.
Oh God, I love you.
So I will stand by your side.
No matter what people say.
I won't let you die.

Ethan,
I know you love someone else.
That's okay.
If you only let me stay,
I can keep my feelings at bay.

You are another world.
One I so admire.
I want to light it up,
So the Earth can see your beauty.
So they can find out why I adore you.

You are perfectly imperfect.
That dream last night, I had,
Made me realize,
I love you.

I love you.
Ich liebe dich.
Te amo.
Ti amo.
Je t'aime.
jag älskar dig.
kocham Cie.
Rwy'n dy garu di.

 I love you, I think.
