I close my eyes and sleep is not all I find
Being with you, in my heart and mind
Stirs my soul like nothing else has
Yet a memory, a remnant of my past
Has reared its head and reminded me
Of things before I never quite could see
And yet the clarity in your eyes is just beyond reach
And I hope that love and trust you can teach.

The trusting loving heart that once beat within
Was all but forgotten because of a certain him
Yet each time your eyes meet mine and hold
That leap of faith, to endeavor might I be so bold
Struggling to find the courage I know I possess
Yet clouded by things known, I now obsess
How of much of me will I lose this time around?
I jump; how much of me will reach the ground?

Trying to understand and calm the fears I own
Struggling to reap through the mess I’ve sown
Dreams can only do so much at night
When reality can feel oh so right
A favor I would want to ask of you, if I could
That you’d honor me with patience, all that you hold
Yet to ask of that seems too high a price
Even if you’re willing, it would not be nice.

I cannot make you pay for my weaknesses
At a loss, I now stand on the brink of happiness.
