Young, Dumb and in Love

To see your face -
That thing of beauty -
Is to fall in love with you
All over again.
Those eyes;
I could stare into forever.
Those lips;
I could kiss them all day.
I wish I could.
You have someone
And you don't know I exist
And chance
Is never going to be on
My side.
But to be with you...

I could be your everything:
Your lover
Your best friend
Your shoulder
Your rock.
I'd be there
If you wanted me to.
I'd leave
If you needed me to.
I'd be your shining light
And your star girl.
I'd be yours.

You'd take me to places
I've never been.
You'd show me things
I've never seen.
You would hold me
And love me -
Take care of me.
And I'd put everything into you;
We could be happy.

You'd have your songs
And I'd have mine
And we'd share
And help each other
And be the best we can be
Together.

I'd need you.
I'd miss you.
I'd love you with all the pieces
Of my heart.
And I know you'd
Fix me,
Or you'd at least try.
You'd make me happier than I've ever been
In my life.
I'd be safe
With you.

And even though I'd know
You'd have to go
And as much as I'd want to
Beg you to stay,
If I couldn't come with you
I'd think of you
Every second I'm awake
And dream of you
Every second I'm asleep.
And though it would kill me
To wake up without you
I'd be safe
In the knowledge
That you were thinking of me too.

I pray
That one day I'll find myself
With you;
That I'll somehow
Find my way to your arms
Your mind
Your heart.
It may not be today
Tomorrow
Or for ten years
But I don't care.
If it happened
I would be happy
And count myself lucky that
It happened at all.

You don't know
How often I dream
That I'm messing my hands
Through your curly hair,
That I'm staring into
Your sea blue eyes.
That I'm kissing
Those lips
That sing words of pain and sorrow
Of being happy.
In love
And of needing someone.
How I wish that someone
Were me.

Sometimes
It almost brings me to tears,
But it always breaks
My heart.
Maybe one day
I'll find someone exactly
Like you
Or at least similar.

Oddly
You're my first thought when I
Wake up
And my last when
I fall asleep.
It would make more sense
If you were mine.

I know I have two options:
Become yours
Or move on.
Somehow
I don't know which is
Harder.
But I know I'll have to choose
One day.
