You deserve a love poem,
and nobody wrote one for you.
So let me try to give what you would deserve,
even though it can't be true.
If I loved you, if I had a heart,
I'd never leave your side.
If I loved you, if I had a heart,
you would've stolen it, like a thief in the night.
When you walk in, my thoughts grow quiet,
like the world finally learned to breathe.
When I'm with you, life feels lighter,
and I feel at ease.
Your kindness is a gift that feels undeserved,
a warmth I crave the most.
You see the best in me, even in shadows,
your light finding places I thought I'd lost.
Your laugh feels like a melody
that floats through the room.
You listen with patience, speak with care,
I feel understood, in all the moments we share.
If I loved you, if I had a heart,
I'd let myself fall, trust in your arms.
If I loved you, if I had a heart,
I'd cherish you and keep you from harm.
But you deserve more than a hesitant love,
more than my fear could ever allow.
Still, I hope you know, in some small way,
you make me better, even now.
