I Love You All the Same.

There are many things I'll never have,
so much that I'll never see....
Lots of hurt in my faded past,
but it brought you to me.

I know that you've been violated,
abused, tear-streaked, broken.
You're the strongest person I know,
I wish distance would let me hold you.

Maybe we can spend some more nights
with my air ukelele, and the stars.
If you'd let me, I'd show you which ones
are almost half as pretty as you are.

We could forget where we came from,
and just watch movies til you drop.
And if you'd like, I could sleep next to you,
but my pounding heart might keep you up.
