A collection of verses and poems

I used to....

I used to think that you were everything 
That if I held you tight enough the joys of the world will be sure to come
I used to think that you were amazing That every word from your lips was the sweetest melody in my ear
I used to think that you could love me
That if I tries hard enough and obeyed and got pretty you would never leave my side
I used to think you were the answer to my problem the cure to my sickness and retreat from the world 
I used to think you were the answer to my problem, the cure to my sickness, and retreat from the world 
I used to think that until I learned that I cant find myself in you, I can't value myself from your view, or love away the pain 
I used to think you were the key and i was the lock and I could be free if only you were with me
I used to think but now I know that it is me that must grow I used to think.....

Sometimes I wish we could connect hands and feel like we finely met

We would know the ins and out of each other but love isn't like that

Instead we are lost in this whirlwind of emotions trying to connect who we are

Asking do I hug now or say I love you then wondering will this ever go that far

Then the late nights when you're wide awake thinking of how you could express your love while feeling like all your feelings get all tied up in your tongue

You constantly fight deceit and negative thoughts because you can't let go

Telling yourself that out there it can't be more

It's that kind of love you feel so deep that you get lost some time

You can't even gather the words in a split second to say the reasons why

You just know that you love them even if you don't really know how

You just don't want to loose them in the fight for love to stay alive
