That I Love You, I Couldn't Help Myself

I didn't love you just because you were there,
but because I couldn't help myself;
I wanted to spend as many waking moments with you
Learn as much of who you are and what made you that
Hear as much of your thought and as much of your voice
See as much of your eyes meeting mine as possible.
I loved you because I couldn't help myself; You were magnetizing, and I cared about your inner world -- little did I know -- in a way you didn't about mine.
If you would've let me, I would've orbited around you and reflected your wonder back to you.
You didn't,
and I don't know what you wanted, to this day.
I don't know what
I even knew of you -- did I even know you?
Who are you?
That I love you --
And it resounds like a rock
tumbles into an abyss...
that I love you.
