So Much More

I'm stubborn.
I know this.
I don't let go easy.
So, if there comes a time when you find I
Am nowhere to be found
Please believe
I tried all I could.

When my past is
A list of lovers who
Overstayed their welcome
And made sure to drag me along on
Their way out,
You must wonder why
With all the silence
I still reach out for you.

It's simple.
You make the songs in my heart 
Sound all at the same time.
You make the stars behind my eyes
Shoot from my pores and my fingertips
You make me believe in
The kind of love I've always wished to have.

It's complicated.
Your words don't always match your actions.
I question whether I'm a fool 
On a daily basis
I wonder what will happen when you leave, because
I don't want to see you go.

It's a little thing
The hope I keep, that you smile
When you think of me
And that maybe
Maybe
Your soul aches a bit for me.

And it's everything
This love is everything
This growing and building
This moving and praying
This singing and writing
This - all this - it's everything.
Everything.
Absolutely everything.
And so much more.
