Love is Madness

A feeling of bliss and unbearable ache.

I’m sorry.

I don’t deserve you.

I’m sorry.

I’m not enough.

I’m sorry.

I may never reach where you are.

But more than anything—

I’m sorry

That I can’t let you go.

I know you’re out of my league.

I know I fall short in ways I can’t fix.

I’m just a boy,

And you… an angel—

A being from a heaven I’ve never known.

But still—arrogantly, selfishly—

I want you.

I want to hold you close to my chest.

To lose myself in your eyes.

To wake with your name on my lips,

And sleep with your breath in my mind.

To laugh with you in your joy,

To hold your hand in your pain.

For everything.

For always—

I want you.

I know I don’t deserve you.

I may never give you the heavens…

But please—

Stay.

Because without you,

I don’t know how to go on.
