True love cannot be defined by any means. It's a cluster of adjectives; it's crazy, passionate, complicated, painful - but most importantly, true love is real. It's that feeling of being inexplicably drawn to another person. Love isn't about finding someone who you can escape reality with. It's about finding someone who makes reality worthwhile.

To say that 'I want you'
would sound far too eager.

To say that 'I need you'
would sound far too desperate.

To say 'I love you'
would sound far too hasty.

So I remain silent,
hoping not to sound
too indifferent.

I want to someone to talk to
it may not sound like much
but its all I want of you

I want to never be alone

to never be forced to hear

the silent creaks of my home

I want someone to share with me

to give me the pieces of their day

through tiny conversations, and hearty stories

till there's nothing left to say

I want someone to stay with me

on those many cold nights

when the only thing that can keep me warm

are their sweet whispered delights

I want someone

it hardly matters who

to stick with me

and stay with me through

the transgressions of my days

the weaknesses of my soul

and share the same with me

make me feel whole 

I want to someone to talk to

someone's whose hand I can clutch

All I want is a true friend

Surely that isn't too much

Waking up after a dream of you, finding you aren't really there. Knowing that there's hardly any chance you are even thinking about me... It is one of the worst pains imaginable.

Something I have always dreamed of is a fairytale romance. To be swept off my feet by a dashing and handsome hero. To be gathered up in his arms and whisked away on wild adventures in distant lands.  To be courted, as was once proper, by a gentleman who is chivalrous and kind, yet also mysterious and wild.

The kind of romance that is usually only on the big screen, or better yet, found in between the pages of a book.

I may never have the fairytale romance that I dream of. But I can content myself with loving someone as fiercely as heavenly fire, and having their love returned just as ferociously.

I hate it when I dream of you and wake up alone.

"Dear future lover,
I hope our love is the kind that I don't even have to think about. I hope that I never have to convince myself to love any certain part of you because I hope it all comes naturally. I hope our love is the kind that is quiet on the outside but loud on the inside. I want to love you like the space between lightning and thunder - electrified and alive, but silent and knowing. And I want you to love me like the clouds love the rain. You're going to have to let me go on my own sometimes, but I will always come back, and we will always to two parts of the same thing."

But I love you
so much more
than just to the moon
and back.

"It’s Monday,
and your hair is messy.
You haphazardly put on your jeans and shirt
as you moan about the day of the week -
and I love you.

It’s Tuesday,
and you’re stumbling your way around the room,
trying to sort out the things you have to do.
You stop to briefly kiss the freckles on my nose,
asking me about my day -
and I love you.

It’s Wednesday,
and you’re quietly sprawled on the couch.
You pat the spot next to you and pepper kisses on my hair
because it’s my least favorite day of the week (and you know it) -
and I love you.

It’s Thursday,
and you’re wondering what the weekend will bring,
but you’re still moaning about how
the week is going by too slow for your tastes -
and I love you.

It’s Friday,
and I’m surrounded by DVDs and snacks
you’ve prepared when I was gone.
You welcome me with blankets and warmth from your arms -
and I love you.

It’s Saturday,
and you’re feeling lazy.
You won’t let me leave your arms
(or is it the other way around?)
So you tuck me under your chin as we both wonder
how much time we have left
before sleep makes us miss each other’s faces -
and I love you.

It’s Sunday,
and there’s nothing much to say but
I love you."

With you, I am comfortable.
I know I can talk about anything, or sit by your side in silence.
You see me at my worst, but only talk about my best.
I can be happy about my biggest achievements, while you know my deepest insecurities.
I'm comfortable with you, and you should know that means everything to me.

I want to know how many scars you have
and memorise the shape of your tongue.
I want to climb the curve of your lower back
and count your vertebrae
               your ribs
               your fingers
               your goose bumps.
I want to chart the topography of your anatomy
and be fluent in your body language.
I want you, entire.

"I have a paperback
heart
dog-eared and creased
by the world,

the colours
are faded
and the spine is worn
but I'm glad
to see
it's finally in
good
hands."

"She doesn't say 'I love you' like a normal person. Instead, she'll laugh, shake her head, give you a little smile, and say, 'You're an idiot.' If she tells you you're an idiot, you're a lucky man."

When I can't sleep at night-
I stare at the empty side of my bed,
and wonder about the things
I would tell you,
if you were laying next to me.

I have this idea. I want to give you a camera; for a day. And I want you to use that camera to take pictures. I want you to take pictures of each moment you think that I'm beautiful. No matter what it is I am doing. I want you to do this, because I want to see myself through your eyes. I want to try and see what you see when you look at me because when I look at myself I don't see anything special. Yet, you disagree. I want to know what you see in me that I can't see in myself.
