i wake up
as soon as
i know you
are already up
even if i
only slept
a few hours ago
i make an effort
to be there
everytime you
call, all the
time you need me
so i know
you would not
feel too lonely. . .

i tell you
i miss you
countless times
i know it
can be annoying
but i say
it anyway
so you know
i never fail
to think about you

i hug you,
i hold your hand
i tuck your hair back,
i trace your face
with my fingertips
i breathe in
your scent,
so you feel
that i can't
get enough of you

i tell you
i love you
every chance i get
i whisper the words
in your ear,
i include it
in all i write
so you would
be reminded
that you are
indeed loved

these are not to pressure you,
i am not asking for you to do the same,
my purpose is to let you get used to them. . .

yeah,
so it would be close to impossible
for you to even think of letting me go. . .
