dear love,
you could have warned me
that i would need you this much
that i would love you this much
that i would crave being in your arms when you were away
dear love,
you could have told me
that i would crave only your kisses
that i would fall this hard for you
that i would be this entranced by the way you smile
dear love,
you could have warned me
that i would always feel safe in your arms
that i would seek comfort in the way you laugh
that i would be reassured by your gentle gaze when i\'m scared
dear love,
you could have told me
that i would treat your kisses like oxygen
that i would feel as if i were trapped underwater
that i would not be able to breathe until you kissed the air into my lungs
dear love,
you could have warned me
but you didn\'t
and i think i\'m glad that you didn\'t
because figuring out on my own is just like falling in love with you all over again
