Say You Swear

For the one who feared the fall but dared to jump anyway.

Nothing forces a man to admit his feelings for a woman more than witnessing the interest of another man.

Loss hurts, but loss is necessary, something you have to experience.

If I’m Romeo and she’s Juliet, maybe this is the fate I put on us that very first day. Love forbidden, but in our story, we’re forbidden by fate.

My baby smiles up at a man that isn’t me,

If she isn’t mine in the end, I’ll still be hers.

I am home for you, baby. Please remember...

I love you, baby. Every part of you.

I love the way you link life to lyrics, how you smile at the moon and love like the ocean, far and wide, and without apology. I love how selfless you are, how honest and kind, even though life hasn’t been so kind to you lately. I love how you try to be brave for your family, because you don’t want them to hurt, even when doing so hurts you a little.

I love you so much I want to come home to you, wake beside you and spend a lifetime worshipping you. I want the house you spoke of and the family in your dreams. I don’t only want to be the man you need, but the one you want. The one you can’t live without. I want to love you for a lifetime, and even more after that.

But most of all, I just want the chance to make you mine again.

Because I’m yours. Always.

No matter what.

How do I feel about her?

She doesn’t remember me, Mom.
