I'm here

You say you're afraid you'll just waste my time
that you'd feel the guilt like bricks on your chest if you change your mind

but it's funny,
those doubts in your thoughts that spin together until they form into the words that fall from your lips,
they don't scare me
& I don't know why

I don't know why I can't picture a picture of me without you in it too
I don't know why I can't bring
myself to want
to find anybody
but you

so take those bricks & throw them off your perfect beating heart until they've all split  down the middle

I'm not going anywhere
so believe me when I say I'm here to stay. I'll kiss you where it hurts & whisper truths until they're tattooed in your memory
I'm here, today, tomorrow & always
I'm here
& I'm here
to stay
