understand

understand that the sound of your voice stops me dead in my tracts.
understand that i need your love to be more than an act.
understand that your eyes send me into a haze.
understand that i need to be with you for the rest of my days.
please understand that i don't want to hold you back from life,
all the things i put you through, I'm surprised there's no strife.
understand that I'm jealous of every girl that you hold.
i want you to know my pain, without being told.
understand that all these feelings are true.
all i really need to survive in this life is just you.
understand that i need you here, to comfort and to kiss.
understand if you were to leave, you'd be the only one I'd miss.
understand these three little words,
i love you,
understand, really, if only, you knew.
