Those words which carelessly slips As if natural, through those lips How dare you so nonchalantly Say the words 'I love you' to me Your words have stricken me Giving me delight and vulnerability You're safe yet so dangerous You make me eager and nervous Every moment with you is an adventure Bringing out my weakness yet making me secure I love how you're confusing and exciting Also how you're incomprehensibly enticing But I fear my vulnerability And your complete unpredictability You're capable of leaving me broken and sore I love risks but I've never been like this before Entrusting myself is terrifying Because of this present longing For your reassurance that you'll stay That you'll stand by, 'come what may' I despise the idea of vulnerability But the thought of losing you kills me So permit me to get used to and be addicted To the feeling of being vulnerable and protected Be my strength and be a man of your word Mean the 'I love you' that's unlike anything I've already heard
