Say You Swear

by Meagan Brandy

“Only a fool would let you go once they had you where they wanted you.”

I love you, baby. Every part of you. I love the way you link life to lyrics, how you smile at the moon and love like the ocean, far and wide, and without apology. I love how selfless you are, how honest and kind, even though life hasn’t been so kind to you lately. I love how you try to be brave for your family because you don’t want them to hurt, even when doing so hurts you a little. I love you so much I want to come home to you, wake beside you, and spend a lifetime worshiping you. I want the house you spoke of and the family in your dreams. I don’t only want to be the man you need, but the one you want. The one you can’t live without. I want to love you for a lifetime, and even more after that. But most of all, I just want the chance to make you mine again. Because I’m yours. Always. No matter what.
