The Fear of Losing You
Your words speak volumes
profoundly touching my heart
Now that you have come into my life
I don't ever want to part
For I would be lost
endlessly searching for you
and what we once shared
Please forgive me, if I come across as scared
Simply want you to know how vital you are to me
Just want you to know I care
You wield the power to set my shackled spirit free
At times I can be frightened because I have ached, yearned for you for years
Though your tender heart and thoughtfulness
delicately dry my tear-stained cheeks and erase any doubts or fears
It might seem strange, uncanny and a little bizarre
we might be far apart in distance
yet you dwell within the confines of my heart
I would never neglect you or shut you out, leaving you in the cold
Together, every second is precious; I can't hide my feelings for you
I am compelled to be bold.
I want to be your strength when you are feeling weak
I want to be your optimism when your outlook is bleak
Words can only say so much
but I have boundless love for you
Together, we'll weather adversity,
hands firmly clasped, strolling along a moonlit street
My one and only, who I would travel through time to meet
I would endure a battered heart and string of broken relationships anew
My fractured heart is now fully restored; I am forever grateful for you.
