Worth It


Sometimes I wonder How you can manage to make me feel So much of everything The tears The heart wrenching sobs The shaking that wracks the frame of my body The realization that I don't know what I'd do without you And even when I question myself in the dark A whispered "Why do I feel this way?" The simple yet complex answer is Because I love you I love the way you make me feel Even if sometimes it's terrible Twisted, scary feelings in my gut That all root from fear of losing or hurting you Because it's more than enough To get to have clammy hands To be able to grin widely Even if its alone in a quiet dark room Because you're worth it Because I love you To want to have this torturous existence Of being with someone that I can't be with A person that isn't tangible in a physical sense A human that I wish that I could just Grab the back of their head of To pull close To kiss To have so in my space That I won't remember what it's like to breathe I want everything and all of it so much That I don't care if I have to worry myself sick Because it's worth it Because I love you
