The Beat Of This Drum

Im with someone who does not put fear in my heart

Instead he unleashes sunshine in the darkest storm

Makes sure my garden is properly watered & fed.

He makes the flower bed in my heart grow & grow

I may be naïve

For when I'm with him theres no place id rather be

One in the same

The only difference being our names;

You can't throw something this strong away.

It may feel like we have an impending doom;

Here is what I have to say to you:  

 

I will be difficult, hard to love.

immature, irrational & all you can think of

but I'm here standing at your door step with my heart in my hand

willing, waiting, wanting to love you at your command

Sometimes I fear, that I might be to much;

I do have ugly parts that remain untouched.

Still Im here

Ready to love

Even though I know love will never be enough

Maybe if i give you my heart this time it will be

Ill revolve my whole world about you & me.

 

&

if you will

I promise to love you more than anyone has before

Ill follow you across the sea or

Let you fly away & wait for eternity

Its scary for me to write things, things

ill never muster the courage to say.

 

Somehow I look into those brown eyes,

you give me the world;

You hold me close,

without *********** we become one.

When there is, I'm satisfied

on

every

level.

If I didn't know any better id say you're the Devil

 

What is the devil?

An angel fallen from grace.

Ive never been anywhere near that heavenly state

Except for when I look in your eyes

Except for when i have you by my side.

When your not around, somehow i feel incomplete

Its like you bring out the best version of me.

 

Just know that the unknown is not something to fear.

Ill take your hand, be right by your side all the way.

If you look in my eyes I promise you'll see no lies

when i say:

everything's going to be alright.

 

Even if that means a future without me..

Ill let you fly, be free

no matter how much it may hurt

I want whats best for you.

 

You have my heart.
