Though the future is unfamiliar,
I feel the shape of you against me,
Embedded into my every thought,
Imprinted in my memory.

The one thing time can't take away,
This little piece of you I hold,
Is the only thing I have,
To warm me when the night grows cold.

When I have reached the tipping point,
And life transforms me into a wreck,
I'll just escape to someplace,
Where your breath is hot along my neck.

Although seasons are doomed to pass,
I find that I'm not scared at all,
But relieved to be free of this fear,
And ready to once again fall.

The unknown is going to come,
Whether I like it or not,
So I'm learning to enjoy,
Every second of the time we've got.

What we have; it's something new,
That leaves me breathless every day,
Undiscovered territory,
I no longer want to push away.

Somehow you've coaxed out my trust,
I don't know why you tore down the fence,
I put up around my heart,
But I'm glad you broke through my defense.

I've never been happier before,
Caring about someone too much,
I can't recall ever being so,
Excited to feel a particular touch.

Please tell me you mean every word,
Convince me staying is your plan,
Just say that who I am is enough,
Because I'm doing all I can.

I don't know if I could handle,
The overwhelming sense of treason,
That would ensue if you packed up,
And left without a reason.

I'm not eager to relive old regrets,
Or make the same mistakes again,
Is history doomed to repeat itself?
If so, I wish fate would tell me when.

Up until now I've been guarded,
Careful to protect my heart,
But the moment you appeared,
My self-made armor fell apart.

I'll do anything it takes,
For a promise this feeling will last,
At least long enough for me,
To replace with joy all the hurt in my past.

When I'm with you I forget,
Each small thing that brings me down,
You never fail to make me smile,
Only you can take away my frown.

There's no use in wondering,
If another guy would do,
I could find somebody else,
But no one better for me than you.
