I love you as you are—as you exist right now.
I loved you yesterday and the day and the month before.
Change, or don’t change. I’ll still love you the same.
I’ll maybe love you more.
Either way…
I’ll love you just the way you are.
I was made to love you.
Whether you stay a day…
Or are gone tomorrow.
My love for you will ramble on.
I love you when you’re absent,
Or safely tucked inside my arms.
I love your darkness, I love your quirks,
I love your bad days and your wildest roar.
I love you without reason.
Without thought.
With each moon or rising sun.
So come…
Let’s search for mountains, dragons.
We’ll watch fireflies dance at night.
Life’s a fragile hourglass darling,
We really must make our time count.
You and I are made of stardust.
You’re a rare and precious find.
I’ll be forever saying
My Darling,
I love you exactly the way you are.
