I love alone
by Nikki BensonOh How I screw things up...
I love you...
I love you alone...
I love alone...
you tell me you love me and I trust that you do
i trust that you do
But your love goes over there...
and I'm over here
I'm over here!!!
So what?
Goodbye?
And lose everything between?
It hasn't been enough!
But the more I have the more it wont be enough
and I'm committed to loving you no matter what
What I mean by that is, even if you do screw up
When you do leave me behind, I'll still love you
isn't that the purest form of love?
Didn't I give you my word that you were worth that to me?
and for the first time...
For the first time it was a choice...
I will love you unconditionally
Whatever it looks like, whatever it takes
and I chose
I will have no attachment on the reciprocation
"Whatever it looks like coming back is fine.
Even if it doesn't come back... That's fine..."
So I said...
My own press release to myself
Such a liar...
But would i do if differently?
Fuck no!
I wouldn't give up even one second of the time we spent together...
not one...
I love you...
over here...

But your love goes over there...
and I'm over here
I'm over here!!!
...and this:
Whatever it looks like coming back is fine.
Even if it doesn't come back... That's fine..."
good write, pain ain't fun. charlie
