You Are The Bane Of My Existence

 



All I find myself is thinking about you, 
All I find myself being 
Able to breathe for . . . Is you. 
Do you think that 
I want to be in this position? 
Contending with these thoughts 
Of wanting to be nowhere except with you. 
Wanting to run away with you. 
And acting on the most impure, 
Forbidden desires, no matter . . . 
How much I must remind myself 
There can never be anything between us

Love isn't about being afraid 
That it will all be snatched away. 
Love's about finding the one person 
Who makes your heart complete, 
Who makes you a better person 
Than you ever dreamed you could be. 
It's about looking in the eyes 
And knowing all the way to your bones, 
That she's simply the best person
You've ever known

Listen to me and listen well, 
Because I'm only going to say this once. 
I desire you. I burn for you.
 I can't sleep at night for wanting you. 
Even when I didn't like you, 
I lusted for you. 
It's the most maddening, 
Beguiling, damnable thing, 
But there it is. 
And if I hear one more word 
Of nonsense from your lips, 
I'm going to have my way with you 
A hundred different ways, 
Until you finally get it 
Through your silly skull 
That you are the most beautiful 
And desirable woman in 
The whole damn world
And you can be only mine

Do you think that there 
Is a corner of this Earth 
That you could travel to 
Far away enough to 
Free me from this torment? 
My father raised me to act with honor, 
But that honor is hanging 
By a thread that grows 
More precarious with every moment 
I spend in your presence. 
You are the bane of my existence, 
And the object of all my desires. 
Night and day, I dream of you... 

I have never met anyone like you. 
It is maddening, how much 
You consume my very being.
I cannot imagine my life without you,
 and that is why I wish to marry you
