I wish you were mine.

There's not a day that goes by where I don't steel a glance at your freckled face. They dot your pale face like stars do the sky. I often wonder if I follow them if I will be brought to the heavens. Will I be able to see the world from above if I stand with you?

I don't know that I have the right to ever find out.

You are spectacular. Everything you do brings a child-like wonder to my eyes. I do believe there isn't a thing you can't do and it amazes me. I've seen you do many wonderful things. I've been told for a long time now that I have brought beauty into this world and that I can accomplish anything I set my mind to. I believe I have done that, but I don't know that I could have done it without you.

There were others helping me along the way, sure. None of them ever seemed to understand me the way you do though. You are always there standing at my side. You don't feed me the lies I want to hear. No, you tell me the truth that's hard to take. And yet, even as harsh words roll off your tongue, they sound so sweet in my ears. Your voice could take the sting away from death itself.

There is so much about you that I know you will never see. There are so many things that may never cross your mind. You work so hard that I'm not sure you have time to think about anything else. There are moments, rare as they are, where others get to see inside your shell. It's usually something as simple as a laugh or a smile.

You don't understand how dear I hold this though. Your laugh can lighten even my darkest demeanor. And your smile is like the sun I live by. I would give most anything to see you smile. If you asked me to I would tear apart my kingdom brick by brick. I trust your word and your mind more than I do my own. I've been speaking sweet nothings for so long I don't know what's real and what's not.

I need you by my side and I do wonder if you need me. You would fair so much better on your own than I would. I know this and it terrifies me. I fear one day you may grow tired of me and leave and I know I shouldn't think things like that. You do care for me, I know this, but it doesn't stop my nightmares from terrorizing me.

What would I do without you? It's not that I fear for the country. I could always get someone to do the work you do. I know they would never do as well as you do, but I don't worry about such things. No, I fear for my sanity. You are without a doubt the piece that holds me together.

You are more than words can describe and I wish more than anything that you were mine. I want you to be happy. I want to give you everything, all that you ask for. I know I'm not perfect and there's so much more I can improve on. Just promise to stay with me, even with all my flaws and problems.

Promise me that and I can conquer the world.
