You offered me your hand,
In fear I stepped away...
Who could ever truly want
An empty piece of clay?

And that's all I was...
Till your love shaped me.
Into a birdlike form,
Finally I was set free.

Except I wasn't.
So much held me down.
Not happy with so little
My smile turned to frown.

Everyday you reminded me
What made me who I am
And eventually I smiled again
As I started to understand:

Even if I shattered into a thousand pieces
Having you  around will always be enough.
If love were to be considered a crime,
Is it one we are both guilty of.
