one.

they always show up when i'm down

when i am experiencing what most address as a broken heart

when my love spirit is bruised and has been battered

former lovers of mine, in their minds

they love me without ever having to take my breath and light

they notice that i have two moles on my bottom lip

and that i love like a waterfall

they know that i'm not lying when i say what isn't true

they notice my outfits and love my eyelashes

they want to kiss me in all of the right places

and miss me when i leave them

they want me to speak and sing them to sleep

they want to watch me dream, and to see the sun rise in my eyes

they want to give me everything, knowing that i wouldn't take it

i tell them i'm taken

by a lover who loves me less

when he has all of me, all to himself
