Love
Love
you say it and I don't wanna hear it cause
most likely you talkin bout that fairy tail nonsense
that lets go frolic through the flowers all day every day nonsense
that whenever I'm with you I feel like I'm on a cloud nonsense
that we're always happy never fighting nonsense
See, when the two of you are ALWAYS happy with each other, it's not healthy, it's creepy
Like the way nurses talk to patients
or the way a shrink asks you how you feel
or like a stalker in the bushes
Cold and detached from everyone else, that's the "perfect" couple that never fights
always happy, surreal, no one is happy all the time
Well no healthy person is absolutely completely and totally happy every second of every day
Love
You say it and I know what you mean
Like most of the socially enslaved, you're talkin about the stuff in movies
where we run toward each other in slo-mo
and everything in our separate lives meshes together perfectly
Where after the first few conflicts we are always on the same page
Never have to help each other through something tragic
Or maybe you mean
Let's have great sex
And I'll get jealous and you'll get jealous
But there are never any questions asked cause
You know how I do, can't look clingy and needy
And we'll feed each other those three words that used to be special
Those three words that had weight once upon a time
The three words you only said to yo mama, daddy, relatives, and friends
Until you just knew you had found the one
We'll feed them to each other because
Thats what's socially acceptable in this day and age
Tossing words around as if they had no meaning
And completely ignoring that sometimes love is used as a euphemism
For sex, cause it sounds nicer
bullshit, cause you wanna cover up and brush over
Cover up your lies
Brush over your lack of self esteem
Cover up your empty promises
Brush over your need to conform
Cover up what used to be an individual
Brush over original thoughts
Cover and brush
Cover and brush
And repeat until your face looks like
The rest so you will be accepted
So that everyone will love you
Love
When I say it
I'm talkin bout the real, the raw, the ridiculous
Sex that can never be accurately described by words
Because we are not just bringing bodies together
When we meet up, it's a uniting of bodies, minds, hearts, and souls
An occurrence in the making long before
We hit the sheets
Jealousy that is not kept secret because it is so strong
It would kill slowly if not voiced
And not just the kind that comes when evidence is available
I mean that unreasonable kind
Where everyone is a suspect and it's hard for them to prove innocence
But I never suspect my love
Of doing anything so damaging
A confidence in each others faithfulness
That will never be dismissed
Unshakable trust and faith
Because we understand and know one another so well
That complete sentences are unnecessary
That sometimes speech is unnecessary
Love
I say it and I'm not concerned with what's popular
It should be warm and prickly, not cold and creepy
Let's have fun
Not go on a date, not visit someplace fancy, not do something expensive
Fun, like watching YouTube videos, playin pictionary, monopoly, UNO
or some other card or board game
Like playin hide and seek with some friends, I spy, havin a doodling competition, pillow fights, quoting movies
Like takin pictures in random places cause we're Gs like that
Sometimes when I'm with you I feel like I'm on a cloud
But there are other times when "Heated Discussion" doesn't even come close
to explaining what we do
Like that time we yelled so loud and so much we ended up hoarse for a week
Or that time you splintered the table and I did the same to the door frame
It's not always rosy and this
has been and will be tested time and again
Together we survive anything
Scary, rough, dynamic, and intense
I wouldn't have it any other way
No matter what this love is not
It is authentic
And when I
Say utter pronounce declare mumble speak voice whisper
Those three words
You'll know what I mean
