You swear you're happy, are you really?
It looks like you have fallen far,
My harmful actions dethroned you,
And left you a hardened scar.

How can you gift forgiveness?
I am a deep drain at the bottom of a shower stall,
Too many insults accumulated ,
They sometimes back up but I swallow them all.

You are a boundless river,
I will have to throw in some satisfaction,
The curl of red-tipped waves crash,
I am the reflection of each careless action.

Truth hidden in monotonous glare,
Smell of disappointment and unrest,
I fell for you, you fell first,
I was the one to hear your heaving chest.

I know I need to jump the rare chance,
Show you the light inside the dark,
I have not been the best version of me,
I completely hate myself for leaving that aching mark.

I have many problems and flaws,
Sitting in the past waiting for them to self-correct,
You lost your sanity dealing with issues,
I never learned how to nurture; only neglect.

We dizzied eachother spellbound,
I am unsure if I bring you more joy than pain,
I am trying to clear our stormy skies,
In the meantime we will dance in the rain.
Life isn't about avoiding the storm, it's learning to dance in the rain.

I woke today thinking of you
I marveled at how wonderful you are
And I realized even my brain is lovestruck
Wishing for you on every star

My love for you knows no limits
Has no beginning or end
It is perfectly infinite
Your heart it will defend

I would walk a million messy miles
I would swim a million scary seas
I would climb a million mean mountains
To be with you, your pain I will ease

Hearing "I love you" from your lips
Is all I have been dying for
Only you can say this careless phrase
And give the word "love" meaning once more.
Love has a different definition to everyone

All of my thoughts had been in secret.
For time and time again,
I let my emotions go unsaid.

I did not want you to collapse,
And no matter how hard I tried,
I did exactly what I didn't want to do.

I broke your heart,
Actually, I shattered it.
I just wanted to lay it down.

However, I guess I squeezed
Too tightly
Before I let it go.

You are enough...
This I promise you...
all your flaws, all your weaknesses...
Come love, come pain...
You are enough...

What would I be without "the fear" of losing you
this fear is the fuel that keeps me alive.
this fear rejuvenates my love for you every morning.

The reason for this fear?
the incomprehensible doubt in my mind
"What did I do so great to deserve you?"
Is it that "you are with me at your will."
And someday like the wind changes
you will change your mind
and seek for a better and bright on your side
and then I am determined once again
"That day shall not come, not on my watch."
"I am gonna be your MAN for all of your seasons."
This is when "the fear" hits hard again
and I am ready to go all the distances
just to be with you in every lane...
