This music on my modern stereo
Just doesn't describe this moment
Or these handcrafted words.
Hatred and confusion spill from his lips
And into an age-old microphone,
Traveling distances to my ears.
The heart inside my shattered chest
Beats with love, passion, and warmth,
Knowing you'll come around soon enough.
You always come back around,
No matter how many times I shove you away
Or beg you to leave on a whim.
You have so much unconditional love;
I'm convinced it's made up just for me,
Just so you can see me smile.
But you...
You love to see me smile and laugh,
You enjoy spending time with me,
You live to see my happiness bloom.
Though I never show it,
Though I never admit it,
You mean more to me than all of
The brightest stars in our sky,
The prettiest flowers in our fields,
The saddest love song on our radio,
The best words any poet could ever write.
I'll ask you to stay one more night,
Just to save my own sanity.
Through all the insanity and failure,
You've stayed so far.
And for all of this nonsense,
I love you.
