When My Girlfriend Said, I Wish People Would Stop Loving Me

You said “i wish people would stop loving me”
baby, I could try if you wanted me to, but that would be damned near impossible,
Maybe it was when we first met, 
or when we became closer, I fell in love with you,
with you i discovered who i was, who i want to be, and how i was in love with you.
Maybe it was your beautiful eyes shining in the sun, opening up another secret you,
maybe it was your safety and warmth, being protective over me as you took me up underneath your wing, whispering “baby i got you”
maybe it was when we first started talking, I opened myself up to you,
because i knew you were my one.
I might not be your one, but i have this feeling you are my one and only, forever and always, the please don’t go and stay with me.
Maybe it was the time i snuck you in just to cuddle, i wanted to whisper so badly “baby, please don’t go, i love you”
Maybe it was all those things i could’ve done to make life easier for you, 
But never did  because you are my forever and i didn’t wanna lose that.
Maybe it was me actually speaking out, but taking it too far with “I’ve fallen in love with you.”
Maybe it is in the way you carry yourself, determination on your face, being strong til no one sees you, maybe it’s in the late night conversations about how we feel,
Maybe it’s in your smile, the way you smile makes your face light up, and makes me want to see that when i wake up each morning.
Maybe it’s in your kisses, the soft, warm, passionate ones where we just stand there hugging for minutes because neither one of us wants to let go.
Maybe it’s the way you take over my mind, around every corner, between shelfs, you’re just there telling me stuff, reminding me that i love you, that i want you, that i need you.
Maybe it’s in our first kiss, you kissed me out of nowhere by a body of water, you told me you’ve thought about that for awhile, after that i think our love is water.
Whatever it is, command me to not love you and i’ll try forgetting all the reasons,
I'll end up killing myself trying to kill the reasons to love you,
 baby i love you and i don’t know if i want to stop but i do know I can't stop.
