Loving You

by Hilary   Nov 13, 2005


I swore I'd never be here again
In this place of confusion, love, and desire.
I promised myself that I would never fall,
For I could not know if I would be caught,
But as I sat there listening to your words,
I realized my heart had not heard my promise,
And had already taken the leap off of the ledge,
And was quickly... falling in-love with you.

Now, long after, I have awoken to find,
That I am lying in your warm embrace,
You were always there at the bottom,
To catch me when I fell... for you...
Your strong arms cradled me
As I cried from fear of a broken heart...
Your loving eyes reassured me
That I would make it through this time...
Your gentle words, convinced me,
That hope was found within us...
Your heart made me see
That forever had no distance,
When it meant that I would be with you.

I do not have the world to place within your hands,
But I have my heart which, with its entirety,
Is everything that I have become.
It has found your hands, and let you embrace it
And all you must do is love it for it to keep beating, for you...
Days may come ahead where we will find fear,
But our arms will keep us safe through the nights...
We may have to cry many tears throughout our time together,
But we can wipe them away,
And share in the grief that we are feeling.

People may come in and out of our lives,
Who will try to separate us and bring us apart,
But as long as we stay strong in the belief of new beginnings,
We will make it through their skepticism,
And show them that that we can overcome even these hardships.

At nightfall I lie in my bed with tears flowing down my cheeks,
I have never worried like this... so completely...
If the words have not escaped my lips so honestly of feelings,
It is because there are no words to describe my love,
As perfectly as you deserve it.
But you can trust in my eyes,
You can believe in my words as I have come to accept,
That there is no possible way that I can let you go.

Relationships are a bumpy road, sometimes full of rocks and dust,
Sometimes the rain will pour down on us as we try to walk towards each other,
And it will be hard to make it to the end of the lane,
But we will...
Life is worth the fears of imperfections,
As long as you believe...

I swear that as long as my heart beats,
It will be missing you...
As long as my mind works,
It will be thinking of you...
As long as my soul feels,
It will be falling for you...
And as long as you are mine,
I will be yours...
