i’ve loved you for so long
i loved you when you lied to me, i loved you when you broke my heart
i loved you when you loved someone else and i loved you while i waited for you to love me
i loved you when you came running to me, i loved you when you thought i didn’t love you
i love you when you push me off the bed and i love you when you steal the covers
i spent years waiting and years wondering
i wished on every star, eyelash, wishbone, minute in the night, dream, new year, every penny i’ve ever thrown into a fountain
not for you to be mine, not for you to love me too
but for you to just thrive and be happy with or without me
we’re here now at this second together and whole because i didn’t just get my wish
my dream came true
