Love, actually

Love, actually.

You are beautiful;

What more do you need?

Anything else I can say, would be so cliché,

So I will just tell you what would make me happy and hope you believe.

I want you tonight, in bed by my side;

Then I want you to stay in bed with me, the following night.

I want to hold your hand when we walk down the street;

I want to look forward to the next time we meet.

I want honesty, but only if it is positive.

I want to become happy with you;

Maybe you could help me to achieve it.

I want to remember our time together when I die;

I don’t want to have to try and forget you,

When I find out that you have told me another lie.

I want to be in love and I think I could be with you.

I want the total agony of being in love!

I want a lover that can actually stay true.

I want you to be passionate and to have me on your mind.

I would be happy if I heard you say, that I am yours and you are mine.

I can be with you if you want and if not, then I never cared anyway;

I will not try to remain cool, when you are bored and walk away.

Let love be real and not a fiction of what it should be;

If love is all we need, then let your eyes gaze upon me.

Picture us together and if you like what you see,

Then say those words we all long to hear;

Yes I will, if you want to, I guess, what do you foresee?

I’m bored of being bored and need the excitement of your touch;

I’m sick of being lovesick and I am awaiting your kiss.

I’m a lover of love, who needs a lover to love;

It sure would be nice to be loved by somebody,

So what do you think?

The language of love is too often miss-understood;

Let the fools also gain insight into the secrets of winning a heart.

Silence is not golden to two people in search of love;

If you can see past the idiot that I portray,

Maybe you could find underneath that I could be smart.

Smart of thought and smart of dress;

I will try my best to never buy you a dress.

My taste in fashion is clear for all to see;

So here’s the cash, buy what you want, I will simply smile and agree.

If only I could, I would fall headlong into your arms.

Your beauty is blinding me; your words are guiding me

And you are my sun and my stars.

If we are forever only looking through the looking glass,

Then what exactly will we have done?

If nothing is all I can do, when thinking about you;

Then what will become of our love?

Forever apart and only drifting further;

If it is not possible to love me, then what hope for our future?

Go find a lesser love and be almost-happy together

And just forget you ever met me;

I was only meant to be your destined suitor.

In sadness let’s leave this whole love notion behind;

Let all others find their lovers and I will find happiness inside myself.

When I see you with each other, I will not even cry;

I will not even whisper bitter words under my breath;

I will only wish you well.

You can have all the regrets; I will easily forget.

I will move on and let go of your love and walk off into the sun.

In our golden years, you can be the one, who thinks,

Maybe he could have been the best.

You can be the one with the love at last sight;

You have already become my gun.

A bullet through my heart, now inside me love is dead;

The lost image of you is gone forever, always, until the end.

I will just be eternally grateful for all the time we had to spend,

With each other moving along this ill-fated journey of let’s pretend.

If this love is not meant to be, then que sera, sera;

We all have many loves in our life time

And I never said you were the one.

Maybe my next love will find me,

Maybe I could build myself a new heart;

As I wave goodbye to your memory and all your faults,

You will turn your back upon our love and I will simply be gone.
