Look at her
Like your creeping paranoia
Watch her every move
Memorize her scent 
Breathe as she breathes
To the point where you wish you can't.

Hear her name 
Echo in every corner
With deafening sounds
Of hearbeat and words unspoken
And the words she said
That keep your nights awaken.

Admire her
For all the things she does
The way she smiles 
The things she despise
Adore her like a mortal
Praying for life at the brink of his demise.

Want her
Want her heart 
Knowing you cannot have her whole
Want her enough
Then want her more
Embrace the idea of her 
Instead of the love you deserve.

Desire her
Till the day that you can't 
Pursue her
From afar or adjacent
Build a life 
Of a lifetime with her in your mind
All the beautiful things you could give
All her ugly parts you could receive
All the promises you could keep 
All the songs you could sing her to sleep
Even if she demanded and wanted none of it.

Cry for her
Ache for her hurt
Stay.

See through her beautiful soul, past what she only could see. Break, so you could complete her broken pieces. Let her spread her wings and watch her soar from the ground. 

Love her.

Love her like I loved you.
Love her like I love you and always would.
