This Love

I\'ll skip the \"Dear\" and \"Hello\".

 
I want you to look me in the eyes,  
and never tell me how much you love me. 


I want you to take me on simple dates, 
where we can laugh and appreciate, 
appreciate some time together in this incredibly short existence. 


I want you to see me cry;  the good and the bad.

I want you to look up that song you\'ve never heard, 
by the band you\'d\'ve never guessed was a thing,
even if your only comment is, \"I might\".

 
I don\'t want you to yank on my heart strings,
but I\'d choose that over them tearing. 


I don\'t want your confessions of love, 
but I don\'t want your silence. 


I want your embrace, 
but  remember some days I need space. 
There will be times our love will die, soon after it hopefully revives.

I know its not what you signed up for when you said, 
\"Would you like to go on a date sometime?\" 

but I took it to heart, gitty and blushing 
I can\'t describe it, what better thing to say than, \"I\'m crushing.\" 
But know I\'ve been here. Right here, before. 
When I thought love was an open door. 
Someone else ensured tears would fill my cheek\'s pores. 
But here I am, again, only slightly sore.
