Maybe it’s because your voice haunts me.
Maybe it’s the way your eyes burned into my brain.
Maybe it’s the unconditional way you love me.
Maybe it’s because your words wrap around my heart.
Maybe it’s the way you need me.
Maybe it’s the desire inside when we’re together.
Maybe it’s the way I miss the things I’ve never felt.
Maybe it’s the emotions I’ve never known before.
Maybe it’s the warmth you give me when I’m cold.
Maybe it’s how I can feel you with me despite our distance.
Maybe it’s the way we finish each other’s sentences.
Maybe it’s how you keep me going.
Maybe it’s because I ache for you when we can’t talk.
Maybe it’s because I can’t tolerate myself without you.
Maybe it’s the way I hurt when I know you’re hurting.
Maybe it’s the smile that thinking about you puts on my face.
Maybe it’s the subtle distraction of your effect on me.
Maybe it’s the way you inspire me to be more than I am.
Maybe it’s how I want you with me every second of my life.
Maybe it’s knowing we’re two halves of the same whole.
Maybe it’s because you’re everything to me.
Maybe I need to stop wondering how I learned to love you so much
When I was sure I couldn’t love anyone again...
