It could all be so simple/ but I'd rather make it hard...


I don't do simple.


See, I could just say, "I love you."
But that's not...
I need you/ I want you/ I breathe you
Before I go to sleep my last thought is you
and when I wake up my first thought is you
because the memory of my dream of you
is still fresh on my mind/ I want to go back to sleep.



I could just say, "I love you."
But that's not...
You complete me/ you make my dreams come true/ eternity
was made for us
and now my reality is a dream because this can't be real.
I've never been so happy for no damn reason at all
and I'm so glad I can be yours and you consider yourself mine.



I could just be like, "I love you."
But that's not...
The kisses I leave on your neck at 1 o'clock in the morning
or my fingers tracing the outline of your nose, chin, hairline, collarbone at 3
or looking into your eyes at 6:35 because we just happened to wake up at exactly the same time/
and smile at each other thru sleep-dazed cloudiness
because of the memories created the night before.



It could all be so simple/ but you'd rather make it hard...
Cuz loving you is so very easy
And I'll just say, "I love you"/ because that's all my texting finger will allow.
