Love and War
I hate how you've made me feel yet I love you still
I hate the fact that it's you I need to be able to heal
I hate knowing there is always a chance that you can walk away
And I hate that no matter what I want you to stay
My heart is sad to think that one day you will not be here
I sit here stuck, not knowing what to do, it's become a constant fear
Awhile ago I felt I had finally let you go
My body and mind quit fighting for you, I finally learned to say no
But it only takes one word from you to break that front apart
What exactly are you trying to do to my fragile heart?
I tried to turn away from you so I could live to be okay
That didn't do much good, I'm in the same predicament today
Once again my heart opens to you because it's you I truly love
You were the first to me make me realize what love can be
And though you did not tell me but twice, there is a part of you that loves me
I'm never sure exactly where we'll end up, or if this is all a dream
But I feel butterflies again, and my smile beginning to beam
One more time I'll tell you, I hate how you've made me feel
The fact remains though, it's you I love....still
