It Has to be You

 If I could love you I would. 

I would protect you from your demons and I would ground your weary ways. If I loved you I would teach you to how to forgive the past and cherish the now so that you can excel in the future. 

If I loved you, you would know the pain you've endured has been worth it for the love you deserve is here to stay. 

But I am not the one who can love you. 

I'm not the one who should. 

It has to be you.

I can't fix it all and I can't create the better, for all of that has to start with you. For me to be able to love you, you would have to let me and where you are just isn't allowing me in. Your demons are ever present, they are residing over your every move. Your sorrows are heavier than any weight I've ever been able to carry, and the clouds for you are so dark that you can't see the sun that I have shining so brightly for you. 

I hope you don't lose hope. I hope you're able to see, that my love for you is just the same whether it's as impossible as it can be or if it's as easy as this read. I will always be here, I am always ready to give you my love; but to get there is up to you.
