Unguarded

You reminded me how wonderful it is to be with you
And last night, I forgot to think
My mind drifted to your place in time
And made me crave to be by your side
I don't know how you've figured out
The way to make me feel at ease when I'm in doubt
Fighting for control but I can't help but submit
To the demands of this connection and all that encompasses it
You never push or increase the pressure
You touch with softness that's hard to measure
That kind of stuff just melts my heart
It's part of the reason I could fall so hard
Though it's sometimes worrying how much I can't conceal
I love your attentiveness to how I feel
You seem to watch me more closely than I ever expect
And whenever something's wrong your quick to lend a hand to correct
You pick up on those little signs that I don't even want to show
But it encourages me to talk about things that trouble me and so
I guess emotion bleeding through doesn't have to be so bad
Especially when the option to withdraw is there, you understand
You know I'll come to you eventually and I'm astounded by your confidence
You give me the ingredients I need to keep me communicative and honest
I choose to show myself unguarded because you make it easy to do
It's quite amazing the amount of safety I tend to find in you
I'm infatuated with the way you let your happiness just shine
'Does he really want to be here?' That's never a question of mine
I can tell how content you are and it's so beautiful to see
The fact that I help cause this state is so hard to believe
But I adore knowing each time a smile lights up your face
Thinking of your happiness makes my heart begin to race
Setting the rhythm for our hearts to beat at mutual pace
This feeling is one that could never be substituted or replaced
And as long as I remain exactly where your heart is
And you allow me to continue to see all that you are then
I will always emerge from the shadows to your arms unguarded
Stripped back and exposed even when I'm at my darkest
