Why can't it be as easy as following your heart
Can't I just be selfish
It's not that it's new, it's old and comfortable
It's exciting and deep and I want to hold on forever
The moments shared in darkness
The throaty whispers in my ear
The hint of naughty in a sigh
All of it, perfect in each moment
Perfectly imperfect
Worries dissipate as I melt in your eyes
Fears are quieted in your warm breath
Yesterday goes blurry, only now remains
Tomorrow has yet to unfold
I want to keep you in my heart while holding you in my arms
It has to be real, please make it real
Playing with you is the best part of my day
It takes away the gray and makes me smile
Not a momentary smile;
A heartfelt ray of sunshine, end of the rainbow smile
That is what you do for me
that is who you are to me
Can I have you
Can I keep you in my heart forever
A promise everlasting
Hope renewed and hearts afire
but it's bound and choked and scared
When unchained, will you still run to me as I to you
Will  you hold me eternally
or will you turn your back
and keep me tied to a past without you
Can't I just be selfish
