If

If loving you means some mornings I must wake to a warzone then just know that I know what it is to bleed for something worth dying for if loving you mean walking through your mood swings like minefields then I'll be a dead man walking if loving you means staring down the barrel of past failures and falls then I'll be target practice so you can be bullet proof and on days you hate me for no reason I'll still fight for you when you neglect the garden we planted I'll make sure the soil welcomes you back every time your roots will still fit here and I know you are not used to consistency but you can get used to me what I'm trying to say is there aren't many things I've ever wanted more than you and I know you're not used to being valued I know you're still holding on to broken promises you couldn't accept but I'm trying to hold you like a promise kept I'm trying to hold you like a wedding ring holds a vows because for once I want you to know what forever feels like.
