I don’t want another life,
where it’s finally you and me,
I don’t want the picket fence, the
suburb house, friends to lovers or any
perfect theme.

I want you now—
No promises of tomorrow that I haven’t
seen,
I can’t trade you for something better,
for some worn down fantasy.
You are my lottery ticket, my prayer,
the hymn I forever stuck in my mind,
So I pray on my knees to whoever listens—
I pray please don’t take her,
Let her be mine.

Cause baby, every gain is a loss without
you,
Every doubt makes me curse my worthless
mind.
To be aware of one’s worth, not being
able to ignore the blaring signs—
might become my curse covered in
disguise.

If only I was naive I could survive on
crumbs alone,
I would keep you so comfortable by
burning me whole.
I would have loved you the same
way we love having faith,
But only better cause instead of
hope I would have survived on pain.

Except I won’t be able to,
So I hope you treat me right,
Give me every reason to stay.
Please walk hand in hand with me—
towards our quieter days. ♡

I would love you in any form,

under any light.

Yes, even if you were a tree, a caterpillar,

a quote read in passing,

or a mere thought crossing my mind.

You see- containing you is impossible,

and I wouldn't dare even try. 

.

You are a pinnacle of joy-

the kind you feel when you blow the candles after making a wish,

Believing it will all come true.

whimsy sold to us as children that never truly dies, 

vivid yet intangible- you bring it to surface,

make others feel alive. 

A moment in memory which puts one at ease,

you feel like hope, my dear-

of a new beginning.

.

They say you meet your person when you are ready,

when you have grown enough to love them,

and the timing is just right.

But I would have loved you-

at any stage, through any ruin, distance or time.

My soul would have recognised yours-

like it did the two times I met you,

In every universe, through all the misery and journey that is life- 

I will do right by you,

go above and beyond each time.

.

So darling,

paint me in your colour,

and let me love you in every way I can.

Because I want to be yours,

more than I want to be mine.

I would love you in any form,

under any light.

You are a pinnacle of joy,

the kind that usually vanishes— 

Yet somehow, you have nested in my arms.

A story written to remind one of childhood,

Moment in memory which puts one at ease,

You feel like hope, my dear-

Felt, but unseen.

Paint me in your colour,

And let me love you in every way i can.

Cause I want to be yours,

More than I want to be mine.
