I used to think I had love figured out
I know how complicated it can be
And no one can really explain it
But I thought I had it down for the most part
I had loved before
And I knew the basic rules of it
Always be prepared to have your heart broken
Always remember that love makes people crazy
It makes people blind and even stupid
Love can mess people up
And love can hurt
It can destroy someone
And that's something I had to learn the hard way
But after meeting you
And after falling so hard
I have come to realize that my interpretation of love wasn't entirely correct
I had so much to learn about it
Love can be pain
But it can be something so beautiful that it will make you cry
Loving you has been one of the hardest things I've ever faced
It seems like there are so many obstacles
And I sometimes feel like there is no way to overcome them
That sometimes there is no hope for you and I
I feel like I'm not strong enough for you
Or not good enough
That thought is something I think about everyday actually
How will I ever live up to the woman you deserve?
The woman that I need to be?
Loving you makes me want to become better
To become someone that you will love more than anything
Love has no measure
You have told me time and time again
And I totally agree
You cannot measure love
However I can paint a picture for you
So you can somehow imagine how much I do love you
I love you m ore than the night sky loves it's stars
I love you more than the sand loves the ocean
I love you more than a parent could ever love it's child
I love you with every beat of my heart
With every breath I take
And with every second I'm alive
Does that paint a picture?
Can you somehow see a glimpse of my love for you?
I love you for so many reasons
You are beautiful
Unbelievably so
I feel butterflies in my stomach every time I see you
And your smile...
How lovely it is
It makes me weak in the knees
And you are kind
More so than you think
You care so much about others
Even if they don't deserve it
You bring so much to this world
By just being in it
You've given me such a precious gift
Just by being with me
I feel like the luckiest person in the world to know you
To be with you
To love you
I know I can never repay you for what you've given me
You've given me a reason to live
A reason to believe the world is something wonderful
You've taught me how beautiful love can be
And how hard it is
You've shown me how much pain a broken heart can cause without physically breaking
How many tears someone can shed before going dry
But you've also taught me that it's okay to cry
It's okay to be weak and to ask for help
That it's okay to lean on someone when you can't stand anymore
All I want you to know is that I'd cry a million oceans for you
And I'd bleed forever for you
I'd go through hell and back as many times as it takes
For you to understand that forever will never be enough time for me to love you
But I'll do my best to use my time wisely by
Learning from you and thanking you
By being with you
And by hating you yet loving you even more
