Not Overblown Amateur Dramatics

Your love is my lighter fluid

The firecracker

The spark

That ignites and energises me

That gives my lifeforce what it needs

When I want to give up

That's what I want to tell you

That's what I want to say

Instead

I say "I Love You"

We don't need overblown amateur dramatics

*

Your face is my morning dopamine hit

With everyday that passes

There are more ways I find

It makes me smile, it makes me want you

It makes me happy

There are more ways I find

To feel fortunate we are still we

That's what I want you to know

That's what I need you to know

Instead

I say "I Adore You" or "You're Pretty"

We don't need overblown amateur dramatics*

*

Your support and loyalty

Keeps me sane, keeps me fighting

The demons, my demons, my vices, my weaknesses

I lose battles, but never the war

Even when we fight

When you are wrong or right

I want to stick by you, fight for you

Be better for you

That's what I always think about

That's what I always hope you realise

Instead

I say "Thank You"

We don't need overblown amateur dramatics

*

You complete me

Despite the times I've pushed you away

Looked elsewhere and hurt you

It's you I can't live without

You I see when I close my eyes

When I think of the future

Through the ups and downs

Through the hurt and sorry, joy and laughter

There is no-one I love adore and have more thanks to give

There is no-one I want to fight for, when we are wrong or right

It's not amateur dramatics or overblown to say

There is no-one I want to spend the rest of my life with

Creating special memories with, while working through and undoing past pain

"You are my everything"

*

Thanks For Reading!

Author's Notes: I just wanted to right some nice things with a nice structure.
