I would like to be only yours.

There was a time when
guys like you
scared me.

So sweet and innocent
with a love that broke
through my walls
at a moment's notice.

I would walk into your eyes
and I would see my stars align.
I would run away from your touch
but your absence made me feel lost.

There was a time when
guys like you scared me.

So loving and good for me;
with a soul that replenished mine.

I would be caught unaware
by one of your longing stares.
I would notice your goodness
penetrating my brokenness.

I want to stay
but I only know how to run away.

There was a time when
guys like you scared me.

So beautifully whole and pure,
with a heart that loved silent conversations.

I would leave your embrace
with thoughts that saw
me through the night.

There was a time when
guys like you scared me.

...But recently I have seen me open
doors to let you in;
dusting shelves
that have long been forgotten.

So I would like you to know,
I'm not scared anymore...
