I'm Crazy

I see you lying there, breathing so softly, right next to me
You have no clue how hard it is to let you sleep
My whole body is shaking, you make me feel dizzy
I know you have to leave in a couple hours
So roll out of these sheets with me
and into a bed of flowers
We stayed up all night long
I remember thinking, this is where I belong
Wherever you are, is where I want to be
Whenever you want me, I want to be the best
Making you happy is the one thing I strive to do
You’re not like all the rest, if only you knew
How utterly special you are to me
I see you lying there, breathing so softly, waking up
You have no clue how hard it is to stay quiet
Bring you’re aesthetic face closer to mine
So I can just admit it, I’m crazy
I’m crazy about the way you pull me closer to you
Even the way you talk to yourself over the phone
Look at me, look how much I’ve grown
So much better now, you made me who I am today
I’m sitting up, begging you to stay
but I know you can’t, at least not right now
As you whisper goodbye and walk away
All I can say is wow, ‘cause you’ll just never be able to see
I’ve given up my sanity, it won’t be back as long as you’re here
You are the essence of everything I hold dear

I wrote this for someone I thought was different from the rest. I was wrong.

never regret anything that once made you smile.

This is beautiful, and you describe the sense of longing and brevity so well.
