As the dust settles on our whirlwind adventure
I can collect my thoughts with full composure
After months of courtship, what is the conclusion?
A flame has been lit, and thats no illusion

We’re left in a rut, an unfortunate place
If you call it off, I’d leave you with grace
The one thing I ask is that you tell me the truth
I suspect you have fallen, just give me the proof

I won’t sit around if you’re playing a game
If you were in my place, you’d do the same
No matter how difficult it may be to say
I wouldn’t begrudge you, if you called it a day

I opened up to you, its all or nothing
You’d have to admit, at least we had something
You’re protecting yourself, and so am I
I think you’ll agree, I’m not just another guy

You can’t pick and choose, what it is you get from me
I’m here for the long haul, thats my guarantee
I’ve asked you before, what causes a concern
For me it was the challenge, of your trust that I’d earn

I know who I am, I don’t seek validation
So I leave you with this, last declaration
Accept who I am, don’t challenge my aims
Now let me in, if you feel the same.

This isn’t something that you wanted, this isn’t something that you need
So help me figure out, is there a foundation to succeed?
It wasn’t going to be easy, and at times it’s  been tough
But with you I’ve found a fighter, who takes the smooth with the rough

Approaching our time together, I admit that I had nerves
There was no way to predict, how I’d deal with the learning curve
It has been some time now, since I’ve shown concern for another
Right now, I chose you, and there’s no-one I would rather

At times it’s been a challenge, and at times it’s been awkward
Is it possible that we must have these times, in order to move forward
I’ll never forget saying, its your life that I would change
But it’s safe to say I’ve been affected, through our brief exchange

I haven’t seen your worst, and I haven’t seen your best
I’m stronger than you think, so please be my guest
I’m more than just a concept, there’s so much more to give
I understand that you’ll need space, to grow and thrive and live

Of the few traits that we share, the main is the sin of pride
In all that I’ve said and done, I’ve tried to be by your side
I opened up to you, it’s been harder than I’ve shown
I don’t regret my decision, because of this I have grown

I know your mind races constantly, and I’ve seen you go through pain
Forget those who have harmed you, because their loss is my gain
I’d be stupid not to notice, the fact that you are healing
If it hasn’t been apparent, I care for how you’re feeling

It’s all been a process, and a lot for you to take
I’ve done my utmost to ensure, it hasn’t been a mistake
I am genuine, but to prove it has been my greatest battle
I think you would agree, I’d never want to hurt you at all

I’ve tried to make you smile, and eradicate the tears
So I thought this was worthwhile and something you should hear
We’ll try our best to make it work, there’s nothing I won’t do
Our future’s never certain, but I’m hoping it’s with you
