Reach For My Hand

Tell me that you’re falling in love with me
And you can’t imagine not having me by your side
Tell me we have a future to look forward to
Even if it means you have to bow down to your pride

Promise that you’ll hold me when I’m lonely
And you’ll reassure me when I’m scared
Promise me that I can trust you
That you’ll take me places I haven’t dared

Sweetly whisper in my ear that I need no worries
You’re here to set me free
Sweetly touch my body
Make me crave you incessantly

Wipe away my insecurities
Let me know that I am what you want
Wipe away all the worries that reside in me
Convince me you won’t pull a stupid stunt

Because I will sacrifice for you
Your wish is my command
Because I will provide for you
All you have to do is reach for my hand
