Always.

You said, "This is what you wanted."
No, what I wanted was simple:
To give and to get.
To see and be seen.
Always.  Always, love.
I didn't want to steal your freedom,
your youth, or your opportunities.
I wanted your time, your kind words,
and your eyes on me.
Always.  Always, love.
But you didn't have those things to give.
Every milestone was a bar to the cage I kept you in.
You said, "I never signed up for this."
I didn't either.  I signed up for love.
Always love.
