As the dust settles on our whirlwind adventure
I can collect my thoughts with full composure
After months of courtship, what is the conclusion?
A flame has been lit, and thats no illusion

We’re left in a rut, an unfortunate place
If you call it off, I’d leave you with grace
The one thing I ask is that you tell me the truth
I suspect you have fallen, just give me the proof

I won’t sit around if you’re playing a game
If you were in my place, you’d do the same
No matter how difficult it may be to say
I wouldn’t begrudge you, if you called it a day

I opened up to you, its all or nothing
You’d have to admit, at least we had something
You’re protecting yourself, and so am I
I think you’ll agree, I’m not just another guy

You can’t pick and choose, what it is you get from me
I’m here for the long haul, thats my guarantee
I’ve asked you before, what causes a concern
For me it was the challenge, of your trust that I’d earn

I know who I am, I don’t seek validation
So I leave you with this, last declaration
Accept who I am, don’t challenge my aims
Now let me in, if you feel the same.
