Dear Sweetheart

I never really had luck, couldn’t ever figure out how to love.1

And then I met you. I remember you told me to be a part of the love club where everything will glow for you.2 The DJ had us fallin’ in love,3 as you whispered to me, “Let’s have some fun. This beat is sick. I want to take a ride on your disco stick.”4

Then, the last thing I remember, was our beautiful bodies grinding up in the club.5 Before I knew it, we’re making love faces, shadows on the wall while the candles’ burnin.’6
Then you give it to me; gimme that funk, that nasty, that gushy stuff.7 All I know is, I’m not lovin’ you the way I wanted to.8 Because in the past, I love all my bitches, but it’s like soon as I cum, I come to my senses.9

I want you to know that this heart of mine has been hardened like a stone, and it might take some time to get back what is gone.10 You have to understand, I used to be love drunk, but now I’m hung over.11

Basically from my experience, love is drowning in a deep well with all the secrets and nobody else to tell.12 But when I see you, I hate how much I love you, and I can’t stand how much I need you.13 Sometimes I hate every single stupid word you say. Sometimes I wanna slap you in your whole face.14

But I gotta keep my faith alive ’til love is found. Now ask yourself…where is the love?15 Cause I know I don’t understand, just how your love can do what no one else can, and it’s got me looking so crazy right now.16

But hey, it’s better to feel pain, than nothing at all.17 When everything’s wrong, you make it right. I feel so high, and I come alive.18 And love…such a silly game we play.19

So let me love you, I would like to show you what true love can really do.20 I know if I fall for you, I’ll never recover. If I fall for you, I’ll never be the same.21 But I want to be a best friend, tell the truth, and overuse “I love you.”22

So kiss me, kiss me, say that you miss me and tell me what I wanna hear.23 Cause baby, it’s you. You’re the one I love. You’re the one I need.24 When this life tries to keep us apart, you keep calling me back to your heart.25 I don’t care what they say, I’m in love with you. They might try to pull me away, but they don’t know the truth.26

Babe, I’ll walk the seven seas when I believe that there’s a reason to write you a love song.27 But I bet if I give all my love, then nothing’s gonna tear us apart.28 Sexually, mentally, physically, emotionally, I’ll be like your medicine. You’ll take every dose of me.29

I’m a keeper because I don’t mind spending every day out on your corner in the pouring rain.30 Trust me, love is more than just a game for two. Two in love can make it. Take my heart, and please don’t break it. Love was made for me and you.31

If I learned anything, it’s that love is patient. Love is kind.32 Now and then it seems that life is just too much, but you’ve got the love I need.33 I don’t need too much, just somebody to love.34 And I can see us holding hands, walking on the beach, our toes in the sand.35 I can’t keep it up like a lovesick crack head.36

So please sweetheart, I don’t wanna cry and cry and cry over the love of you.37 I know we found love in a hopeless place.38

I will always love you,39
Your secret admirer40
