Right This Time
I want to love you,
but I feel like we rushed.
Two months went too quickly.
It left me thinking, "Is this lust?"
You said it was more,
and with me you did agree,
and getting "us" back
won"t be so easy.
I see in your actions
how you're willing to try.
Be my best friend and lover
'til the die that I die.
Let's restart this all,
but keep our sweet memories,
cast off the wrath,
and set ourselves free.
We'll take things slowly now
and this time do it right.
We'll be patient and understanding
and free ourselves of childish spite.
We'll learn to let go
of the things that hurt our bond.
We'll focus on those things
that make us grow fond.
Love doesn't hurt.
What hurts is heartbreak.
Let go of the pain
that wasn't in vain.
We both know that ignorance
is the one to blame.
We both meant no harm.
Let's remember our intention.
The faults that held us back
we'll no longer mention,
because the past is the past.
We'll build a new tomorrow,
fresh and joyful, free of cold sorrow.
There are so many memories
with you I wish to make.
The more slowly we savor,
the more time that we take,
the more the odds are in our favor,
the more passion we'll make.
I want to outlast the rest!
I want to stand strong with you.
I want to trample each test
and grow old with you too.
I want to look back on our years
and laugh at the good times.
I just can't make it more clear
with these bland words and rhymes.
I want a unique kind of love
where every word matters
instead of throwing ourselves out
leaving our feelings in tatters.
Savor it, taste it, feel the tick of time.
If you could see what I see,
our love would be sublime.
