1001 Ways to Love You

I want a love that’s kinda silly

the kind of love that lets me act stupid out in public and i’m still able to put a smile on your face type-Love

or waking up in the morning with the thought of you on my mind type-Love

or I want a love that feels like an eternity, but in reality, we’re only three months into our relationship,

I wanna enjoy your presence because you light up my world and if not my world, then dark corner that needed you there because you were the only one fit to be there type-Love

or the kind of love that’s not too overbearing nor overwhelming, but i’m still jealous for you but since love doesn’t envy, i won’t ever have to worry about you stepping out on me 

type-Love

or taking those long car rides and alternate passing the aux and discovering new music,

or we can just ride in silence while I listen to you sing, speak or even breathe,

or just having your existence sit right next to me, cuz that’s just how much you mean to me type-Love 

I want to annoy you for no particular reason just because i love you and you just happen to be there making you an innocent victim of circumstance in result of my boredom

or having to deal with my hypocritical nature by getting annoyed when you do something to annoy me type-Love

I look forward to having to go through what i put my friends through, picking on me because I’m in love you

or I wanna binge-watching anime and cartoons on a Saturday morning when neither of us have work

or go out to a field, have a picnic and just play tag with you all day long type-Love,

I wanna look at you and love everything about you, from your lips, hips to fingertips and never again have to question myself on the choice I made or the path i picked type-Love

the craftsmanship of your Father

the confidence from your King

and the love of the Spirit type-Love

not judging you based on your past just as you accept me in my present as we build our future type-Love,

where I’m free to annoy you and be childish too,

or looking at you because you're looking at me because I was looking at you type-Love,

watch you fall asleep on FaceTime and send a good morning texts with stupid emojis and repeat that process every single day type-Love

I wanna share those moments where i say i was thinking about you

hitting you up for random conversation that make no sense like, when did George Washington Carver sign the emancipation proclamation,

and have you so confused type-Love

I wanna call you up and tell I love you....

and immediately roast you after that

I wanna figure out your schedule and surprise you at work with your favorite food,

I wanna express all the depths of my affection and then learn to write with my left hand when my right eventually falls from cramps and exhaustion from writing so long

I wanna love you everlastingly, fervently, physically, mentally, spiritually in every “ly” type-Love there is

And I want a Love that’s free because it never costed me a thing to love you 

wait except.....it did actually cost me my sanity because I’m crazy about you type-Love

I wanna love you always and forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and forever and always type-Love
