I love you
I, who have seen your heart,
Every fiber that was put into your soul
I love you
I love you for every fault
Every disaster, every sin
I want to share every moment
Good, bad, high, low
I'll take your anger
Your frustration, your disappointment
As long as I can hoard everything else:
Those rare grins you give when you find something amusing
The even rarer smiles when everything is right in the world for one irreplaceable moment
When you laugh at your own jokes, even if no one else does
That infuriating smirk you think is attractive but isn't
(It's beautiful, it's all beautiful, you're beautiful, and I wish you would hurry up and realize it because maybe then you would love yourself as much as I do)
You are my hope
My faith
The dream I never knew I had
All the pieces—messy and bent and cracked and perfect—that that form the person standing before me
I love them all
I only wish you loved me too
