Withered Heart, Loving Soul

You hope to meet someone, someday,
that will love you in every way.
And when you think you’ve found them
You fall harder day by day

The days grow shorter and nights get warmer
as they lay their by your side
you love them more, they love you most
and they give you shelter to hide.

The one she loves, though
may not be
the one who’s by her side
As some girls fall for other guys
and fall for all their lies.

You wish someday that she could see
how well you two could be
together, forever, and ever and ever
Is how I picture you with me.

But if I told you how I feel
you would only judge
because I know just where we stand
and I can’t start to lunge
at the thought of getting you
in every single way
that I want and desperately need..
Oh darling, please just stay

I know things aren’t the same with me
but that is the whole point
I know, I’m not the man you want
Could you just flip a coin?

You see my heart,
my loving heart
beating just for you
and as it does, I see yours…
But not beating for us two.

I see your heart beating twice
once for him and once for me
and that breaks me every time
you see, I see!…you see?

I can not fathom losing you
in the ways I’ve lost the rest
so now’s the time I give you space
to learn what would be best

And though I know that honestly
I would be better for you
I have to let you figure out
what is and isn’t true.

I love you more, You love me most
You see my withered heart in me
I see your heart, your bones, your soul,
and wish they were a part of me…
