Like I do

The more I think of you,
the more I want you.
Your beautiful eyes, soft fluffy hair,
your gentle touch.
I never knew I could love someone so much.

It’s not just
the way you look at me
when all you want is a hug,
or the way your hand fits perfectly in mine.
But the way we stay up all night,
talking about our futures together,
or about how much we’ll miss each other
the very next day.

I don’t know how many times I’ve prayed
for someone to see the real me,
the person I truly am,
for someone to actually give a damn.

But now I sit and think to myself
about all the “love” I’ve had in the past.
Was that really love?
Was it even real?
Because it never felt the way that I feel
with you.

With you, it feels as if I’m sitting on a cloud,
nothing around,
just straight peace and happiness,
like nothing else matters.

When you’re gone, my heart shatters
like a thin wine glass
being dropped on the ground
with a very loud sound.
Sometimes I feel like you can hear it
from a mile away,
and that’s why all I want
is for you to stay.

I know one thing is true,
one thing I never knew—
I’ve never felt with anyone
the way I do with you.

You make the world feel softer,
like everything slows down
when I’m by your side.
Even the bad days don’t feel so heavy
when I know you’re mine.

And maybe love isn’t loud or perfect,
maybe it’s quiet moments and late-night talks,
shared dreams and gentle promises
we don’t even have to say out loud.

All I know is this feeling is real,
it’s warm, it’s new, it’s true.
And no matter where life takes us,
I’ll always love the way
I love you.
