Why do I love you so?

You are everything to me

and I will never let go

of the feelings I've always had for you.

No matter if it's the present or the future,

nothing will make me think differently.

Truth is, ever since I saw you

I knew that I was in love

and know that this love will never falter.

Even today I lay awake at night

with thoughts of you overpowering my dreams.

I hope you know you're the only person

that I've felt so strongly about

and you're the only thing

that is this important to me.

I never cared about how I looked,

what I did, what I said,

what anyone else thought about me

until you were the one I had to impress.

I wish that you could see

that you are what I care about most in this world

and I wish that you could see,

I will always love you unconditionally.

There's something else that you should know

and I don't know if you noticed

but every time that I'm around you,

I just can't help but smile

and that's because every time I see you

I feel uncontrollably happy inside.

You are the most amazing girl in the world

and I think you're totally out of my league

but I'll keep hoping that one of these days

I'll wake up happy for once

because I fell asleep knowing you were mine.

That seems like the most amazing future.

All I'm asking is for 2 more years

because, as you know, I'll be leaving soon.

When I graduate I'm joining the military

because there are no other options for me.

Let me just say that I'm ranting now

about dreams for the future, but...

I've always seen you in my future for some reason

because my love for you is that powerful

but I'm not so sure about any of that anymore.

If my dreams come true I don't want to abandon you

but what else can I do? No.

Please. Just 2 more years so we can be happy

and then we can call it quits, say goodbye.

I wanna see you smile again and I'm gonna be selfish,

I want to be the person to make you smile once more.
