I Dare You To Love Me

I dare you to love me

Not with just your body

But your heart and mind

When I look into your eyes

I want to see and know

Your feelings are genuine

I want your time and attention

You commitment

If that’s too much to ask

Then you shouldn’t be in this

I give 110 percent

So I expect the same

And it’s not gonna be easy

You can’t let pride get into the way

We both can’t have it our way

Sometimes both of us will have to lose the fight

To make things right

But don’t get my feelings twisted

I’m not one that’s gonna let you play me and be alright

My heart aint on my sleeve for any and everybody’s taking

It’s locked up surrounded and protected

Waiting for the right one to claim it

But to get to it you have to work

And its gonna take time

Its gonna be hard

But it’s worth every step

Because once you get it

It’s yours

I’m an impossible puzzle

But it’s possible to put me together

Very few can handle such a challenge

Even fewer try

But I think you have what it takes to pass the finish line

So I’m giving you a chance

Just to see what you can do

I dare you to love me

Can you handle it?
