Love appears as if a dainty, little thing,
one that is drawn to a clear path and follows it resolutely,
and yet,
love isn't dainty
It's strong,
strong enough to endure any stupidity going in,
any misgivings
It forgives
or rather you forgive,
you forgave me for every lie
that I wasn't sure how to avoid,
for every time that I failed to be the best boyfriend for you
that I could be
You forgave me for breaking up with you
through a stupid text message,
that I wish I never sent
You forgave me for being stupid enough
and enough of a fanboy over Bo
to have been with her,
while you were with Dale,
You took me back,
after every breakup
and I've never entirely deserved it,
but you change me, Alex,
you always have
I never knew what love was until
I met you and slowly fell in love with you,
though you had me from our first kiss,
when you grabbed my face and pressed your lips against mine,
and it was magical,
so how was I not to suggest that to Chuck recently?
Our first kiss was magical,
and then one day,
I had to have it explained to me,
why I felt the way I do for you,
that it was love,
and you, Alex,
are the only woman I ever want to be by my side
You are the only woman that I love like this
and will love like this,
and so,
when the time is right
and if my words don't fail me,
I hope that when I ask you,
those will be the very words
that give you the kind of joy
that you impart on me always.
