Love is a painful thing

Struggeling to understand love.

Love is a painful thing.
Watching you makes me smile
Cry, laugh and scream.
You smile I have to smile too,
You cry and it’s my tears that fall

How can one person be the object
Of all of my passion.
Can one person fulfill all of my needs and desires?
I didn’t think so until you.
The chills that I feel at the very thought of you terrify me

Dreaming you lie next to me I ache for you
I need you inside me, around me
I need to feel your breathe against me face.
The serenity of your embrace

What does it say about me
You can build me up or tear me down with a word.
My biggest hopes and fears are wrapped up in you.
I thought that I was whole until I found you
Now I will never be whole without you.
