for you

I don't love you like lovers do.

I love you like routine.

I love you like late night

Not like mornings as other people do.

You know I hate mornings

But waking up next to you are the only mornings I remember fondly.

I love you like lonely cigerretes,

Though loving you calms me more.

I love how you look at me,

No one ever looks at me that way.

I danced for you, I swam for you,

Or maybe I did those things for myself,

To feel more like you,

To feel closer to who you are.

Like a moth being drawn to the fire.
