I Love You

I lay down, thoughts of you enter my mind The way you feel against me when you sleep as I hold you The way you giggle and laugh with me The way your hand caresses my cheek, wiping away the tears The way you sing, not just hitting the notes, but feeling the words The way you softly sway when you're happy The way your eyes can pierce through my walls and break them down The way you build me back up, better than before The way you... just are. Who you are. Everything about you lingers in my mind I reach out as I lay down Wanting to wrap my arms around you all night Wanting to kiss your shoulder with every breath you take, reminding you you're loved and safe Wanting to memorize every constellation your freckles make Wanting our heartbeats to become one Wanting your hand to grab mine as we become one I grab the pillow that reminds me of you and tightly press it against me all night I hold the blankets that cover me - pink ones, because that's your favorite color I dream of you, think of you, hope for you I lay down and think of you - you keep me going I reach out and think of you - you keep me going I only own things that remind me of you - you keep me going I love you I love you Everything you, I love, my love
