when i say i love you, i'm not speaking on a whim.
i'm preaching from my honest heart.
i'm trying to help you, not be brave.
i'm just telling it like it is.
accept it or leave it.
when i say i mean it,
i'm not expecting long walks on the beach
or for you to hold my hand and look deep in my eyes
or for you to worship me like the sun shines out my ass
or even to kiss me in the rain
or take me out to a movie and kiss me til the end credits
no, i'm looking for
honesty, trust, respect
humor, a serious face,
trustworthiness, reality
but with a fantasy so
b e l i e v a b l e
i start to fall into the
cracks
and think
that maybe
one of these days
i'll open my eyes and
you'll be standing right next to me.
