Every word

To me, my life was always black and white, but with you, I guess colours were alright, anytime Im with you, that was all I felt, and deep down, in my heart, was the only place you were kept, 

there’s so much I want to say to you, I want to tell you how I feel when you look at me how you do, even if I told you half, I’d talk forever if every word I ever said could make you laugh, I’d tell you how much I miss you when your not around, and how I look for you in places you were never found, I’d tell you how my heart beats when I’m around you, and I’d tell you that no matter how many people are with me, I would always think about you, I’d tell you how anytime you were with me,  I wanted to stay there forever, and how I hoped we could spend the rest of our lives together,

 I can’t look at you without swallowing every word I’ve ever wanted to say, I can’t stare at my phone and act as if I didn’t want to see you today, I think your perfect, i wish I could tell you that every “I love you” I’ve ever said, I did mean, I wish that I could tell you every moment we spend, I think about them as if the days don’t end, every minute every hour, I think about all the times that I sat there like a coward, nervous of what you would think, trying so hard not to blink, scared of the thought that this was all a dream, and I’ll wake up without you next to me, but that’s the way it always will be, you are everything to me, and you always will be, every time I look at you, it’s like love found me how you do, it’s like you are the only person in the world, and some day one after another, you will receive everything you deserve, 

I promise, I’ll hold your finger and I’ll lock it, around my pinky finger, while I watch every heart felt word linger, I don’t know where I’d begin, if I told you that this is what I mean, I love you, I really do, and I couldn’t imagine loving anyone else how I love you, so yet again, I promise you, I will always wait for you,
