love the reprise.

I’ve been thinking about love a lot lately
I’ve been in love twice
Came close to it once
I once loved an angel once who loved me back
Though briefly
And that’s when I learned how good love could feel
Also realized how much it could hurt
And knew what they meant when they said
That love was blind
My heart took a beating
But I loved him with everything that I had
Even when he made me cry
Made me question myself
He almost turned me into broken woman
I still loved him enough
To forgive him
Because he once loved me
I almost fell in love with a lonestar
There was something about him
That I just couldn't shake
He was so easy
Too easy
To this day I still wonder
What could have been
If he felt close to what I felt
I loved the idea of our potential
There was once someone who loved me
But I didn't love him back
I hurt him
Forgot him
He forgave me
And for that I am grateful
I loved someone
Who I don’t think loved me back
I was never able to tell him
Can’t tell him
How he planted his roots in me
Like a tree
And that I loved him before I knew what love was
Doubt that I will ever tell him
But if I did
I’d have to borrow a line from Sanaa
“I’ve loved you since I was 11 years old and the shit just won’t go away”
I'd let him know that he was all I needed
Nothing about him had to change
Because he is perfect as he is
That I only fight him because
I know I can't have him
I wish that I could tell him
How he slips into my dreams at night
Occupy my thoughts during day
And that he scares the crap out of me
Sigh, sometimes I wish that I did not know
What love was
