Can you love like that?

Can you love like that?

Love me when I don’t ask or when I bite… — — not to hurt, no…. Or when I fall, like wet snow cold upon you — — -but soft, okay…. Hold my hand when I deny it all eyes shut firm, — — and damp, yes… for I cry too much.

I ever love you, your soft, sure… love your deep, that dark gaze. I love even… rare… — — your mean… oh, when I know you don’t mean — — it at all… no.

Just love us both too much now, like I love us — — -too much, yes, like I lose me to love you, okay?
