When I say “I love you”, what I mean is, “Thank you for being here” When I say “I love you”, what I mean is, “I’m still longing for you” When I say “I love you”, what I mean is, “I get tired as well” All my muscles shake and knees buckle, my arms are getting numb That’s because when I say “I love you”, what I mean is, “I will work hard to earn it” I will wait for you, I will follow you, And win your affections. That’s because my “I love you” doesn’t end with just an “I love you” My “I love you” comes with an acceptance that This is the hardship that comes with love Embrace it And when I say “I love you”, what I mean is “The world is cruel and I love all your allies” So let the storms come Let me melt under the heat of the sun Let me convince you that I’m also your ally You are the future I’m dreaming of You are the story that I won’t get tired of You are the moment that I always reminisce You are the rest that I need You are all I breathe in When I say “I love you”, what I mean is “I’m happy"  Because my love, no matter how long the day is I will come home to you
