Dear crush, You may


Dear crush, 

You may not exist now 
But you have before 
And I know you'll be back again<p>
 
To the ones that came before I want to say thank you 
Than you for every tear that I was too afraid to shed in front of you
For every moment of self doubt that you handed over to me
And for every moment that I believed that you were the only valediction I could earn 
That you were the only one 
The only one I'd never have <p>
 
I asked for the hand 
I asked for that chance 
That one final dance
In return you gave me the rush
The butterflies from your every touch
Those misshaped pieces
That I learnt were from my own broken parts<p>
 
But  I still stand with my thank you
For you thought me what to ask to from the future
The future of more mistakes<p>
 
So to the ones who'll capture and steal my heart one day, this is for you
One day I'll meet you
The butterflies will come
My heart so familiar to this road
Yet it'll feel as if it was walking on a path of fresh snow 
Cold and untouched 
All my shields will shatter
The warrior I am stricken as naive once again<p>
 
But to you I ask not much
Because I know the ache will be something I can't avoid
Because I know the tears will well up
And leave me to drown
All I want is your love
Your love for my strengths and imperfections
That's all I ask<p>
 
And if you can't give that
I'll burry you in my heart along with the list of all my past heartaches
I'll realize soon enough
That this isn't my chance 
For that one dance<p>
