9. Compressing & Decompressing

I don't know how to feel around you

The simplest things become harder to do,

I feel the need to express my emotions to you

But what's the point if they never get through,

Hold on, that pain is rushing in

Gotta stop it before things end,

I'm not trying to send the wrong message

Just wanna show you who you're blessed with,

I got a confession

I've been compressing,

it's time to decompress without any aggression

Time after time I tell you again,

I love solely to the bitter end I'm not just your lover I'm your best friend

And these are feelings that will never bend transferring them over through our hands,

It took me awhile, I didn't understand

I need you just as much as you need me,

You need me just as much as I need you

As you hold my hand in yours I feel that everything will be okay, we have a love that knows not to break

We'll be together till the end of our days.

You are beyond;

Incredible, Inspirational, Handsome, Imaginative, Inventive, Irresistible, Incomparable, Illuminated, You Weeaboo 😜

This goes out to you!
