I love you enough to grow old with you.
I love you to laugh out loud,
to enjoy an afternoon of limitless sex,
but at the same time, to simply enjoy
having you by my side.
I love you to walk hand in hand with you
and gaze at the starry sky at night.
I love you, I love you,
I simply love you.
I love you to feel that there is someone who listens to me,
to know that you are there, paying attention
to the most intimate details of my life.
Just living life by your side,
a peaceful life,
a life with your love.
I love you to lull you,
I love you to make you feel safe,
to give you, with every step,
a little piece of myself.
I love you to touch your heart,
to feel how it beats in your chest,
pleading for compassion.
I love you for who I am by your side;
I am strong,
I am the one who clearly sees
everything that lies before me.
