I love you

I need you know
That I love you
Not in the way we hoped,
But stillI love you

I need you to know
Down to the bone
That I care
That you are special
That I cherish you

I know your faults
And you know mine
I know your strengths
And you know mine
I know your dreams and fears
And you know mine

You are my favorite
We are forever connected
I refuse to leave your life
I demand you be in mine

I know it may take time
I know you need to heal

I will wait
Because

I love you
