The Things I Wished You’d Said.
Don’t say you love me—
people fall in love
all the time.

Don’t say you love me—
people that say they
love each other
end up divorced
all the time.

Don’t say you love me—
liars and cheats
utter such falsities
all the time.

Say
that you’d die for me
a million times over;

Say
that you want to fall asleep
ever night, with an arm over me,
protecting me;

Say
that you want to listen
to all of my lame stories
and laugh at my
horrible jokes;

Say
that you’ll be there
in times of trouble
and be the light
guiding me through;

Say
that your love is deeper
than the ocean and grander
than the universe, and
mean, really mean, those words.

Say
that after arguments
you will find it in you
to apologize, and
make up;

Say
that you will never, ever
give up on us.
