Secret.

I got you
and it's one of the most fortunate things to ever happen to me
or else I'd be hopelessly insane
and completely screwed
and desperately desperate.
I'd be all dead on the inside
with a crispy, finger-licking shell for dipping and decorating.
Without you
I'd have been deep-fried a long time ago
because when even *I'm* convinced that I'm nothing but a worthless asshole,
you peek around the corner
and you come up behind me
and dig your fingers into my ribs
tickling away
until I snicker and snort
and beg you to stop.
And I'll tell you one thing,
I'm so glad you never do
because getting up from falling down
has so much more appeal
when your hand is there offering me that help I need to get back on my feet.
You're always there for me
and that's more precious than anything else I've ever known.
You're never too busy to help me out
and you're never too concerned over something else to give me some kind words
and you're just gorgeous through and through
right to the bone
right to your great big loving heart.
You're so great that I want to keep you as a secret
and never let anyone else in on it
so you can be something that's just all mine.
Because one person can keep a secret
but it's better with two
because you can smile about it from across a crowded room
or across a country
and if you let a third person in on it
they always just spoil it.
So I'll keep you as just my own,
well... if you'd let me
and that would be something that would make me genuinely happy.
I don't know how it is I can be sad
not with you around,
protecting me
and picking me up when I fall
or at least doing a faceplant with me.
As long as I'm not alone.
And you're as beautiful as any sunset I'll ever see.
You're as loving a person as god ever created.
You're the best of everything, and there's no words in any language known to man to express how happy I am to know you.
If I could change the world for you, I would.
If I could bring you the stars and sprinkle them on your bedsheets, I would.
And if I could ever make you feel as good as you make me feel,
you'd better believe there's nothing that would stop me from repaying the favour.
