Because of you

 

Because of you . . .

        

Fragile as my heart seems,

My soul is drifting in

Another world.

As I look into your eyes,

I only see you and me.

 

My body yearns for your touch,

My hands longing to hold you tight,

My fingers caress your face

As you sleep soundly at night.

 

Is this what I’m supposed to feel?

Tell me, because I’m so confused . . .

Never feeling like this before,

So afraid to let it all go.

 

You tell me you cherish your space,

I’m not asking for you to settle down.

But when my thoughts revert to you,

I can’t help but wonder

A life with you.

 

As I gaze into the starlight,

I can’t help but to wonder

Just what you’ve done to my heart.

I’ve promised myself

That I would never get trapped in

Like a fool I was to the others

 

All the fears that held up

Me and you,

All my insecurities

Just lost in the moment.

 

As you take my hand in yours

I want to go where you are going,

As you hold me in your arms

Let me know you will catch me

As I fall.

 

Never thought a feeling like this

Could rise,

When it was once beyond my reach.

Hoping someday you would feel

The way I do.

But if you don’t,

I’ll be okay,

Just promise me you won’t lead me on.

 

I’m torn in two,

Apart of me wants to be with you,

The other is so afraid to lose again.

Please don’t tell me to rush,

Be patient with me

And you will soon have all of me.

 

At this moment you are all that I see,

There’s no one else in my heart

That I paint a picture of

A world of love

Just me and you.
