The Love Wishes

Anonymous

By: Anonymous



I wish you could read my mind because then maybe you could see, 

I really want to fall in love, as long as it’s filled with guarantees 

That you will always be there, and never leave.

That despite all the dark I hide, you will never be frightened of who I could be. 

I want someone to stay and be my anchor when the waves scream and drag me across the floor. 

Stay and hold me close when my smile isn’t right because I can’t keep “faking it till I make it” anymore.

I want that love where you will let me talk nonsense for hours, because I have thoughts and dreams that need to be devoured. 

I want you to love me when I share all my doubts because I am on fire and you are the only one that has the power to put it out. 

I want someone who knows that when I don’t ask for help and start to pull away, 

It’s my barricades rising, telling me there’s only one person I can rely on and it’s always myself at the end of the day. 

That’s when I need you to be there, to barge right in, no matter how strong the wall,

Tell me it’s going to be alright and tell me we’re never going to fall 

A part 

Of my heart will always belong to the fantasy of you, 

The truth is I’m afraid to trust because out of all the risks I am willing to take, falling in love is the one that could make me break. 





I wish you could see how beautiful you are, both inside and out, you are more than just a star…

You are my world

Who I promise to love with all those guarantees and more.

Because I get what it’s like to feel alone, 

But somehow you always manage to make me feel known.

I get what it’s like to not have a home, 

But somehow I managed to find it wherever you roam. 

I will hold and protect you when the world turns mean, 

Be the kind of love nothing can ever come between. 

The love that will listen to your random topics because I know that although you are slightly psychotic, 

It’s your way of seeing if someone will stay in one place, 

And I promise you love, I will stay just so I can share your space.

I will admire your scars as battles and wars you have won, because you’re the strongest person I know that still cares about everyone. 

You claim I have the power to extinguish your flame, but darling, you are a wildfire that will burn me insane. 

You are stubborn and argue even if you know I’m right, 

But I love you so much that I will still let you win all of our fights. 

I challenge you and I know you love to play my games, 

So why won’t you be the love that I can tame? 

I promise that even though you feel like you might fall apart 

The only way you’ll fall is for me and I’ll never break your heart.
