You don't deserve me
I know this but it doesn't lessen the wanting you
It would be such a simple thing to hate you
To forget the joy and laughter
The shared memories and new plans
The press of your lips and the feel of your arms
The warmth wrapped around me
Your love reflected in the beat of your heart
The curve of your smile
The shine in those blue eyes
The ones that have haunted me for years
It would be easy to focus on the pain
All the broken promises
the seemingly endless tears
This ache in my chest
The emptiness inside that nothing can fill
The hollowness in the shape of your name
You don't deserve me
I've hoped for you for nearly all of my life
Of holding hands and drifting off in sweet slumber
I've dreamed of waking beside you
Of walking and talking and loving together
Building a life and allowing love to bloom
because what we have is epic
If you cannot look at me and know
Know that I am the best thing that could happen to you
If you cannot look and choose me, finally
then you don't deserve me
But I deserve you
