I ADORE YOU
I cried.
I pulled out of the parking lot, trying to think beyond the pain. Just get home.
Images of your face flashed before my mind. Why does it hurt?
I’d just confessed my love to you, hoping it would make your day. Guess I didn’t get the response I’d hoped for.
Thunder rumbling and rain pounding on my windshield. How cliché.
I’d waited until that moment to tell you the truth. To put down the mask and façade of strength.
I showed you my weakness.
Bad idea as usual.
I love you.
I can’t help what my heart is feeling. I wish I could.
These are the times I wish I could turn the switch of my heart off.
I’d tell it that we don’t belong together. I’d say, “Don’t get involved. You’ll just get hurt.”
Why don’t I ever listen?
Power.
That’s what you have in my life. I adore everything about you.
I try to be an independent person. It gets hard though when I care about what you think.
I have piles of things to do. I have lists up to the sky.
But I’d rather spend my day with you.
I’d rather spend it basking in your smile and enjoying your warm touch.
You make my heart flutter with your romantic whispers.
Hope.
It’s the only thing I have to hold onto anymore.
It makes my heart surge with renewed strength. I can finally breathe again.
It hurts, but hope is a soothing balm on my heart.
One day at a time. That’s what I hope for.
Live for the moment. That’s what I hope for.
Loving you with all my heart. That’s what I hope for.
