Before I met you my life was
dark and empty, loneliness
and pain was all I endowed.

Trying hard not to fall in love,
for knowing how easily
and how much I’ve been hurt
before.

From the moment I saw you I
knew we were meant to be
together.

How can I ignore my emotions,
the feeling of safety and
warmth when ever I am in your arms?

Sometimes I try to distance myself
and hold back my true feelings,
but you must understand that 
hurt and pain is hard to forget.

Afraid of loving you too much
even though you try to reassure
me that your love is real and
would never hurt me.

I know that I make things
impossible by not responding
when you try to express your
feelings for me and may even
think I don’t feel the same way.

I just want you to know that
to think about you day and night,
you’re my symbol of hope,
you’re the center of my life,
every moment I spend with you
I feel the love inside me
Grows more and more.

You’ve been the best part of my life
for so long now that
I don’t know what?
I’d do without you for life without you
is not worth living.
