Open your eyes,
your heart,
and your mind
Realize that love is more than just time
More than just words that make you feel funny
Like you swallowed a bottle of sickly sweet honey
Love should be proud but not too much of an ass
It should be building you up and forgetting your past
Love is about holding your hand when you’re scared
And leading the way when you’ve got nothing prepared
Picking you up, brushing off the dirt
Ignoring the naysayers
Breathing life into your dreams
Giving all for each other
Never having to question your happiness
Knowing in your bones that it is true, real, worth it
But this isn’t accomplished by all
Not even half, and you certainly have gotten it yet
You’re experiencing a pretender
An insult to your story
But you just can’t see it yet
But one day you’ll wake up
Breaking out in a cold sweat
Desperately hoping that your revised version of your life hasn’t thrown you off track
Praying to jump back into your real storyline
