Love that's meant to last

by deanna-m-reeder

You call me baby
 And I sleep on the right side of the bed
 And you love me you love me you love me
 You’ve got a smile that I keep
 In my left side pocket 
 And this feels like a long time coming 
This love is soft and it’s 
hard to keep it all inside of me And I know you get scared 
Because sometimes his lack of love pushes its way back up into my throat and I push you away and you don’t get that I’m just begging you not to go away And I get scared
 Cause for me love hasn’t always meant staying
 With him love meant trying to fit myself into a mold that I didn’t belong in And I see you with other girls whose smiles come easier and whose love comes nicer 
And i get scared that one night you’ll want to have the right side of the bed 
to yourself again But this love is soft and 
it’s meant to last
 I’m here to stay if you are
 I’m here to stay if you are.
