Two Weird Hearts

 

All I Need...

 

Is simply you.

 

You don't see it,

Even though I strongly and deeply show it.

But I'm quite glad that you are blind.

 

If you saw this bewildering passion,

You'd be frightened.

It wouldn't work.

It would crash and burn.

No,

We just wouldn't work today.

Not now.

You’d never stay.

We just both have to admit

 

That...

We are young

We are both focused on becoming great people

We both want to become a driven person with amazing goals and a fulfilling career

Then one day

That amazing person would become someone worth

The endless loving endeavors of an angelic being possibly sent from God

 

Look

I’m not saying that will be us

There is too much going on in our worlds

For us to know

Especially since I don’t even know

No one know our exact futures

 

But hell do I have hope

I'm honestly am uncertain of your blindness

Yet there is some part of me

That longs to believe that you can see

With that in my heart

I believe that we both live in the ignorance of the other's true emotions

 

But we settle for this little world that we created

Every day I look forward to seeing you

Even though I am completely unaware of the feelings you lock inside

I am willing to keep up with this ruse

Just in case

We have the potential to become more than this relation without a name

Whatever it is that we have has been different

 

Lucky for us

We are different

That is what makes us so special

We are capable of maintaining this special weirdness we share

We share conversations that neither of us would be able to have with others

We understand each other at a level of weird that only we can interpret

We've shared millions of true laughs and smiles

So much that it feels impossible

Being this happy

 

Nethertheless

I'm more than aware of all the wrongs

But am so strongly taunted

By the rights that come with us being an us

 

You open my soul

You open my mind to the world that is ours

Every day I build this dream of us just being together

Living in every step of the other

Through the struggles

Through the best moments in our lives

Moments being ours

 

This dream

This growing hope

This is what drives me

Every single goddamn day

To become the person you deserve

 

Once I have that

Once I become that

I'd be completely and ultimately happy

 

And all anyone really needs in life is happiness

You are that happiness

So I'm willing to wait

Years upon years

Decade beyond decades

If that is what it takes

To become yours

And for you to become mine

I need this feeling

This validation that I’m worth this crazy dream of passion

Of being deserving of something to great

But in the end

I most likely won’t be waking up in your arms every morning

It’s this dream

It’s this hope

That makes every little effort I put into literally anything and everything worth doing

It’s just an idea

But hell

It’s mine
