When...

You are laying there
Beside me
Your lips
Your eyes
Your jaw
Everything about you
I can't believe you are real
Right here next to me
Every night
Until the end of time

I look at you
Amazed
That someone like you
Could love someone like me
We fight
I cry
You turn
But love remains

We are both tired
Worn out
Dealing with life
The struggles
The pain

But we are fighting together
Side by side
A team
Stronger then ever before

It gives me butterflies
Still
When I know that you are coming
I still get that nervous feeling
When you walk into the room
That goofy smile
The love sick one
I still get it
When you laugh or talk
I melt, straight to the floor
My knees are no good
When you are around

Who knew that love would make me feel so good
Who knew that love could make me feel so bad
The power
The pressure
The point at which you break
It all comes out
The moosh
The sweet little nothings
The jealousy, selfishness, and pride

Who knew that love was so powerful
To make you
Or break you
The power to hurt
And the power to be hurt

It is like some creature waiting
Hiding
Looking for the right time
The time to leap out of the darkness
Out of the shadows
It is just a matter of time

Love will bring out the best in you
Love will bring out the worst in you
The question is...
When?
