Your eyes,

the way you smile,

makes me want to just stop time

for awhile.

 

Your nose,

your lips,

your hair,

Yes, all of those puts my heart in denial.

 

My chest heaves with this feeling that won't leave.

I finally understand what it feels like to drown in one's love.

 

From the first time I saw you,

I knew deep down

I might not have been sure,

possibly insecure.

 

My mind fought with my heart,

completely tearing me apart.

Hopeless, wreckless, heartless, breathless

I was a complete mess

 

Because,

Because of you.

 

I spoke to people wanting them to tell me what to do.

I couldn't, wouldn't accept it.

Why you?

Why now?

 

I was in a big fucking doubt.

 

But then I realized it was easier to just love than hurt

Because I would be the only one hurting

and I am done with that.

Is it so wrong to love?

 

This time, I truly know my heart is in this and it's not for the way that you look

 

Though you're beautiful as well

Surely I can tell

That it's who you are

and what you do

 

What you say

and how you're passionate too

that has captured me.

Now only time will tell,

Will you set me free?
