Entry: how do you love me? let me count the ways... Monday, September 18, 2006
just when i've entertained a new drama in my head thinking i'm just an empty frame hanging on a wall you'd come and admire me and remind me why you bought me after all
just when i've thought you'll never notice me no matter how i dress up and slim down you'd come and let me know i've always been the beauty you've seen me to be
just when i've just started to mope and pout because you rushed out the door without a word you'd come back and tell me where you've gone and how i should have been there with you
just when i've begun to feel small and guilty believing you'll hate me for the wrong i do you'd come and embrace me and make me feel i'm as perfect as i can get
just when i've indulged myself into a pity party and tell myself i'm difficult to love you'd come and tell me that you wouldn't trade me for all the riches in the world
just when i've resigned to thinking i don't deserve the good things in life you'd come and offer me anything that would make my life fulfilling
just when i've relaunched myself into insecurity and cower into the shadow that i create you'd come and hold out your hand and tell me it's lovely to see me step into the light
just when i've thought that love is like this or love is like that you'd come and kiss those thoughts away and show that love is here and love is you and i.
