You give me butterflies

And this scares me

But I like it

Come be near me

 

Can I tell you

Whats within me

This confusion

It's amazing

 

I trust you

But I'm scared

Because I know

When there is no more

When you leave me

When I can't see you

Where will I be

Lost eternally

 

You are my best friend

You are my man

All I need is

For you to hold my hand

Even if it's only once

I need to feel your touch

'Cuz your mind is beautiful

Your voice is appealing

And here I stand

Waiting to take your hand

 

So your hands are big?

Ok, I feel safe

Just don't let me go

Because I'll never know

What to do with myself

 

And so if you go

You can blindfold me

Or just take away my sight

I know I will adjust

But only so much

I know I'll understand

The beauty around me

But I'll never be able to appreciate

Everything that surrounds me

 

But enough of you leaving me

The thought is too depressing

And let me tell you

I'm so grateful to meet you

That I think of you

Before I go to bed

That to the Lord

I humbly bow my head

That I thank Him

For putting you in my life

And I thank you

For giving me butterflies
