Believe Me Too
Seldom have I kept you close to me.
Though you are never intent on leaving.
I love you so, please believe me
But it is this life, that is robbing our time together, it is thieving.
How i long for you whenever my thoughts wander,
but choices have constrained me to the point where i can only ponder
how, though people love they cant always be there for each other
believe me too, when i say , if i am not there for you, it is no sin to be with another.
My love only wants you to be loved.
It is what you want too, i know.
All these passions we have built together
all these promise, are they only for show?
I feel every day how all your expectations are slipping away
all alone, within those four walls where we thought we could have our way.
I have no right to put you through such loneliness
Believe me too ,when i say i suffer with you in our helplessness.
But you seem so happy to see me again.
As though i were always here lying in your arms.
But it is not so, we have been separated by this terrible rain
that falls on our bond and brings it harm.
But i Know what i must do to make this right.
Not ending all we have, let that pass beyond our sight.
Like you have given up things for me, placed them aside.
Believe me too When i say i will do the same for you whatever sacrifices, i will abide.
