Your love is a poison so sweet
I'd take it anyway even if I knew.
Because you make me complete.
I want you running in my veins,
in my blood, in the thoughts
that I have when I go to bed.
Or the words that I utter
when I wake up.

I want you in all of them.
I want you next to me like the
first ray of sunshine.
I want you so much
that I don't mind,
being burnt in your light.
I don't mind being
overwhelmed
if it's you.

I don't mind letting myself
go and sink in your love.
Completely and wholly
submit to the dream
that you paint.
You take away my pain,
my scars, my heart-ache.
You take away my tears,
you're always the one
to catch me
when I'm falling.

You're my layer of warmth
in this cold and heartless world.
You're everything I
wanted and I deserved.
I am glad to have found you,
now I never wanna let go.

If you choose to
leave on your own,
I will wait.
I will wait patiently
for you to return back
because I gave it my all.
I gave everything I had
with sincerity and genuity.

Wearing my heart on my sleeves,
I gave you my trust.
I tattooed your name on my skin.
I can promise you my lifetime,
can you do the same?
I can promise you I'll always be there,

Just like the moon.
I'll cast my light on you.
I'll fill up the void in your heart,
the pain from your scars,
I will be your afterthought,
that runs on your skin.
Like my pencil on paper,
writing these words
seeking affirmation.

Seeking you in places
you can't see and tell.
Because I wanna be
that invisible support
which never runs thin.
Which goes above and beyond,
and if needed, stand
against the world for you.
That's who I will be.

Because you're the
apple of my eyes.
You're that trip that I'd
take any night,
a trip to heaven,
that's what I found
in your arms.
I found the scent of
blooming flowers
in your hugs.

I found the taste of honey,
mixed with the taste of chaos
that would wreck me
in your lips.
Yet I brushed them
with mine,
hoping to melt away,
to get lost in them
and then to be found.

By you, your hands and
your electrifying touch.
The way you'd fill me with
love, with this urge
that I wanna be yours,
and yours wholly,
I wanna romance you
in the middle of night.
Regardless of time, I wanna
trace the ribbons of love
that we share,

I wanna explore the threads
going from your heart to mine.
I wanna be the one you'd always
want in your day and your nights.
Your touch will be my anklets,
your hands my necklace,
and your eyes my jewls.
I want to adore, to love, and to
get lost in you forever.
