I love you 

[Probably not the way you want]

But I do

[Most likely not as the world define it]

But I love you

Alive

Broken

Real

Raw

Beautiful

Wicked

Selfish

Docile

Submissive

Destroyer and destructible 

I love you like I don’t know you

I love you as little as I know of you

I love you for the smiles you gave me

I love you for your bonfire scent on my skin

I love you for the smile of death at a funeral 

I love you because we had no name

I love you because I don’t have to say it

I love you for who you are

I love you for who you aren’t

I love you because there aren’t 10 reasons

I love you because loving you would be too much and too little

I love you because you are kind

I love you for the way you break and put yourself back together

I love you because I know your taste and aroma but not your essence

I love you for how the sun shines in your eyes and sleeps in your eyelashes

I love you for how I can’t find an end to this list

But

I don’t love you for how you make me hurt

[And at that I must mark our end]
