Fake smiles
"I love you"
Words spoken.
Not felt.

I want something real.
Something more
Not only someone
that I can hold onto
but someone that will hold me back.

I want in.
Into their head
so I can know
who they are
were
wish to be
will be.
So I can know
how to make them happy.

I don't want
just anyone.
I want someone
to love.

Real love
love that makes me feel.
Love that makes them feel.

Give me a chance.

I'm not perfect.
I never will be.
I don't want them
to be perfect either.
I want them
as they are
flaws and all.
Every imperfection.

More than someone
who will love me
I want someone
to love back.

I want to put a smile
on their face.
To make them feel
safe
wanted
loved
needed.
To listen
to be there for them.
To hold their hand
to hold them up
when things fall down.
I want to be theirs

I want someone
to give
my love
to.
