I know you're broken, but I love you with every ounce of my being
I'm trying to pick up the pieces of your past's destruction
But sometimes I feel helpless
Like loving you is a losing battle
Like you are a tsunami in which I can't survive
The tide is
And I'm trying to hold on

You're the most handsome person, but your eyes are the saddest I've ever seen
The look in your eyes holds a thousand secrets
Such darkness
Such anguish
Full of hidden fears and silenced memories
I wish I knew them all
I know I ran when you told me things before
I'm sorry, I was scared
I promise to never run again

I was scared of my feelings
I was falling in love with you
I was falling in love with someone whom I wasn't sure I even knew
I wanted to make you whole again
But that was my problem
Why was I ever trying to make you whole?
When you have the most perfect soul
