What I Can and Cannot Do

I can't breathe
without you near me
I can't stand
without you there to hold me up
I can't wish
without knowing that you're listening
I can't go on
without knowing that I'm yours

I can't believe
that you could ever love me
I can't forgive
myself for ignoring you all these years
I can't trust
that my heart will not shatter
I can't go on
without knowing that I'm yours

I can love
that you will always want me
I can love
the feel of you around me
I can love
the way you come so close
I can love
knowing that I'm yours.
