I can't help it that I love you
the way that I do and it makes me
roll over and text you first thing
and after I'm sure you woke to see another day
than thank him collectively for we

You be joy in little lines
that I say things on purpose
to make you say
so I can smile more
than I was when I knew
you'd say so anyway

You are inspiration
breathing life into my life
so my work shows that I rose again
built back better than
where I stood before
and I can't help it
that loving you makes me
happy and healthier

Cause you be to me
everything I need
and sometimes not what I want
but couldn't live without
so I swallow reality reluctantly
only at first taste
cause it's after is always
savory with the flavor of you

So on a day like today
you'll have to just be mad
or whatever you call that
when I get like this
you know "sappy crap"
spilling endlessly from my pen
but I can't help it that
I still remember how long I waited
and prayed
just to feel like this about anything
ever again

so I can't help it really
what comes out when I allow myself
to sit down and pen

love you
