The way I love you

by Beauty In The Breaking   Apr 14, 2009


Well I fell in love with you,
there wasn't much I could do,
I tried to resist the feelings I felt,
I didn't want to be in love
but they just kept building
and I just couldn't fight it no more.

Now we're counting the days
that are turning into years
since the day that we got together,
turned out to be a very wise choice
when I finally gave in to you
and said that I'd be your girl.

Now I'm falling for you
more and more each day
and frankly it's starting to scare me,
I love you so much that it's hurting me
and I'm afraid of this power you have,
the power to make or destroy me.

I'm so scared of a day
that you won't want me,
a day that you realize
that you can do so much better than me
and I'll have to let go of your hand
and watch you walk away from me.

I'm afraid of how much
you make me love you,
how I'm loosing sight of myself
because I'm so wrapped up in you,
can't imagine my life without it like this
but the strength of my love consumes me.

I fought you so long
and held my heart so tightly
because I was scared of getting hurt,
I'd been hurt so much before,
now the stakes are getting higher
because I have even more to lose.

I'm falling for you
even more each day
and I love how you fill me up,
knowing you care makes me complete
and gives me wings so I feel I can fly
but sometimes I wish I didn't love you so much.

Love isn't supposed to feel like this,
it's not supposed to cut you open like this,
sometimes I wonder which would hurt more,
loving you the way I do
or letting you slip from my hands
but I'm not willing to test it out.

Loving you the way I do
is slowly eating me up,
I never knew that loving someone
and having that love returned
could shatter your heart even more
then it only being one side.

Is this true love?
Is this how it feels?
I love you so very much
and you're a part of my soul
but I love you so much
sometimes I wish I didn't.
