i love you

id ask for you hand
but i know youd give me your foot
and at one point i was mad at you
but now all i can do is cry
because id ask for your hand
but i know you give me your foot

and i respect the decision you made
but when you said you wanted me
all i had left to give you
was the physical
all i had left to give you
was the part of me youd never had a chance to explore
because you have my heart in your hand
because you have navigated my soul
because you have blazed a trail
around the cape
and somehow managed to be the first settler

the map i was about to give you
you refused
you refused it
and that only made me love you more
and sadly enough (it garnered trust)

now im not sure if you know this
but i hope that now
you will realize
what you are to me
you are the love of my life
the man in my eyes has no flaws
because the flaws are simply mistakes
and the mistakes are simply-----
fixable glitches
and i find those so easily
almost as easily as finding an ant in the milky way
as easily as finding my heart in my chest

now i know you could love me
because i love you
you have my heart which i know is capable
yours is hard
yours is ice
yours has no doors or windows
only a peep hole
that goes in the wrong direction
and i looked through that peep hole
and i saw everything i ever dreamed of
i saw my future
i saw
i saw
i saw everything i ever wanted or needed
i saw the love that i had been searching for my entire life
and i know
i know
i know that convincing you
will be slightly harder than convincing my mom that those clothes are necessary
it'll be harder than getting my daddy to tell me he loves me
it'll be harder than getting you to look at me
and all i want
is to see those eyes again
is to see them shine with that light that manages to escape the peep hole
baby i love you
and i just managed to to say that to a living person
but baby
but man
but hey you
i love you more than you will ever know
and i will forever be right here waiting on you
waiting on to come around like they say you will
i would ask for you hand
but i know you'd only give me back my heart
and i love you
