you say you love me

look in my eyes

hold my hands

promise me its true

that my worth is unparalleled

and you need me

want me

above all else.

that i am the missing piece

that i

am the one

and im sitting

crouched with you,

huddled

in this small space,

and your gaze is unwavering,

and you dont break contact even once.

and i,

i believe you.

and then

i woke up.
