Desperate Love

I want to be with you More than anything I’ve ever desired I want to embrace you So bad that it kills me I want to be there for you Down your every step of the way I want to tell you that I love you every day Just so you know how it feels I want to reach out for you and feel your hand Instead of the empty space that beckons me I can’t lose you The one thing that keeps me moving forward The one thing that I love more than life itself My special person The only one that sees me for who I am Who knows all my foul secrets Who has told me some of your own I need to be near you Even if you don’t need me I’m a parasite to you I cling to you Even though I know I shouldn’t You’ll always be my special person Even after I’ve moved on And given my heart to someone else You’re so intensely engraved in my heart I doubt I’ll ever truly survive without you Just to have you near me You’re like my instant sugar high You’re the one thing That truly makes me happy Nothing else works I’ve tried Sometimes, I don’t think you understand Just how much I truly love you You know me better than anyone else Shouldn’t that be enough? I know one day You’ll walk away from me That person will hold your hand And lead you off into the sunset I’ll be left alone But I’ll be smiling Because I know that you’ll be happy And that’s all I’ve ever wanted for you My beloved My reason for living My love Until then I’ll always be waiting Hanging onto you desperately My desperate love
