Hard To Hold Onto
I know sometimes I can be quiet,
No smile upon my face.
It’s not because I’m callous,
I never thought I would feel this way.
At times I know I seem displaced,
When I see you there in pain.
Inside my heart is breaking,
Searching for words to say.
Experience in love isn’t one of my strongest virtues,
I’ll easily admit where I’ve done wrong.
For I know I can be hard to hold onto,
Give me a little time and please hold on.
I know I can be hard to hold onto.
Especially when wrestling with my pride.
There are so many things I want to tell you.
I have so many emotions of you held deep inside.
I know I can be hard to hold onto.
Yet you have broken the walls around my heart.
I never wanted to be hard to hold onto.
This is an admission of where I have had to start.
There’s no question I’m rough around the edges,
I noticed how you’re able to look past that all the time.
Always able to see my heart that’s beating underneath,
It beats with yours in perfect time.
I know at times I’m the puzzle you have to work hard at,
I love you for you never quit.
Yes I know I can be hard to hold onto,
Yet you always make the pieces fit.
