When he told me, I cried
Because I once thought that love was such a vague word, you know
A single word that does not accurately express true feelings and
Only words upon words upon words will ever truly reach my ears and force me to believe what
I now know could possibly be that truth
The truth that is my imminent death as a nonbeliever but
Maybe I want to remain a nonbeliever because
They say that ignorance is bliss but my ignorance was more than bliss could do justice and
Now that I have brought myself to believe
I am confused as to
What you could ever see in a person who walks
Talks and
Acts like me and
This is all I have ever wanted, you know
Someone to hide a smile whenever they see me
Someone to dream about me
Someone to wonder what it is that I think about but
Now I would trade it for the world’s worst loneliness because
I am responsible for your unhappiness and
When he told me, I cried
Because the word love becomes heavy when it is about you
