I never could do half-assed love,
I never could do one night stands.
My love is all consuming—
once I have made up my mind I will love you even if you don't want me to.
I will take your worst moments,
and let you bury your sadness in me.
I will let you scratch my insides, and rip me into the border of nothingness.
I will be your mother's favourite, and the daughter your father never had—and I will be everything you ever wanted, but the one thing you'll never realise.
I will love you completely, even though you laugh when your friends tell you we are meant to be.
I will love you completely, even after the years and the cities that lay between us.
I will carry your sadness and all the things you didn't want so that you can be new again.
I will love you completely, even after all that is left between us is a birthday wish and your wedding invitation.
I will love you completely, for as long as forever takes, and that is my sad truth.
